The Association of Equipment Manufacturers says they’re disappointed that Congress has again punted on the proposed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Kip Eideberg, senior vice president of government and industry relations, is with AEM. “The infrastructure bill would create up to 100,000 family-sustaining jobs in our industry,” he says. “So, we obviously want it for those reasons, but we also need it because we can not function as a country and as an economy if we don’t have reliable state-of-the-art infrastructure.”
He tells Brownfield a lack of investment in infrastructure, like rural broadband, is a serious threat to workforce availability.
