President Joe Biden’s first scheduled speech following his State of the Union address last night will take place today, Feb. 8, at a worker training center in DeForest, according to a Wisconsin State Journalreport.
Biden focused much of State of the Union speech on the economy, and his remarks at the Laborers Apprentice and Training Center, scheduled for 1 p.m., will echo that economic emphasis, according to a White House statement.
During the State of the Union address, Biden took credit for creating more jobs in two years than any other president has in four years — including 800,000 manufacturing jobs.
In Wisconsin, Biden is slated to focus on legislation he signed into law that has benefited workers, including an infrastructure law setting aside over $1 trillion for direct spending across the country, a measure to boost domestic production of semiconductor computer chips, and a $1.9 trillion policy giving money to Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
