HARRIS PLAN “Job Growth”
MINIMUM WAGE
Harris is supportive of raising the Federal Minimum Wage. She hasn’t said by how much, but $15 is what many states have raise theirs to.
NO TAXES ON TIPS
In a speech at a Las Vegas Rally Harris said that she supported eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers
UNIONS
Harris is Pro Unions. It’s about fairness and dignity.
FIGHT UNION BUSTING
Will fight to get the the Pro Act passed. The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act restores the right of workers to freely and fairly form a union and bargain together for changes in the workplace.
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL
Harris will continue support of the Infrastructure Bill. The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill was signed into law capping off the hard-fought victory for his domestic agenda.
The legislation includes massive investments in roads, bridges, waterways and other “hard infrastructure.” It’s the biggest public-works bill since former President Eisenhower created the interstate highway system in 1956.

HOW THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO IT.
NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS WEBSITE COMES EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE OFFICIAL DEMOCRATIC WEBSITE WHICH MAY INCLUDES CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT COMPLETELY ACCURATE.
Upgrading Low Income Homes is a Job Generator
Democrats will lower families’ energy bills by making energy-saving upgrades to up to two million low-income households and affordable and public housing units within five years, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and promoting safe, healthy, and efficient homes. We will ensure investments in affordable housing and public housing support both energy efficiency retrofits and construction of new units, to greatly increase the number of energy-efficient homes available to low-income families.
Boost the Minimum Wage
Democrats will fight to raise wages for working people and improve job quality and security, including by raising the federal minimum wage so it reaches $15 an hour by 2026. Raising the federal minimum wage, so fewer workers are forced to hold down multiple jobs to make ends meet.
Get Rid of “Right to Work” Laws
We will repeal so-called “right to work” laws that undermine worker power and lead to lower wages and less protection for workers across the economy, and ensure those who have been left without wage and hour protections for decades—including domestic workers and farmworkers—have the same rights as other workers
End the Black/White Wage Gap
We cannot hope to raise wages without taking on the profound racial biases at work in our employment system. The wage gap between Black workers and white workers is higher today than it was 20 years ago. It takes a typical Black woman 19 months to earn what a typical white man earns in 12 months—and for typical Latinas and Native American women, it takes almost two years.
High Paying Jobs and the Infrastructure America Needs
Democrats will launch a clean energy revolution through historic investments in clean energy, clean transportation, energy efficiency, and advanced manufacturing.
We will repair, modernize, and expand our highways, roads, bridges, and airports, including by installing 500,000 public charging stations for electric vehicles, ensuring our passenger transportation systems are resilient to the impacts of climate change, and using safe, modern design approaches that allow drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and others to safely share the road. We will launch our country’s second great railroad revolution by investing in high-speed rail and passenger and freight rail systems, and commit to public transportation as a public good, including ensuring transit jobs are good jobs.
Democrats will upgrade our nation’s ports, lock and dam systems, and freight infrastructure to accommodate 21st century cargo, reduce air and water pollution, and create and maintain high-quality, good-paying jobs. We will increase demand for American-made ships by ensuring U.S. cargo is carried on ships flying our flag. We will make sure that every community in America has access to clean, reliable drinking water and safe wastewater systems in their homes, including by replacing dangerous lead pipes. All of this comes with new and better high paying jobs.
Democrats will close the digital divide that deprives more than 20 million Americans of high-speed internet access by investing in broadband and 5G technology, including rural and municipal broadband, while ensuring those investments support good jobs and include strong protections for workers’ rights to organize, and restoring the FCC’s authority to take strong enforcement action against internet service providers who violate net neutrality principles.
All federally supported infrastructure projects, whether existing or newly developed, financed through grants, loans, tax incentives, or a national infrastructure bank, should create good, union jobs that expand the middle class.
Made-in-America Jobs
Democrats believe more products in our homes, stores, workplaces, and communities should be stamped “Made in America” and will expand support for American manufacturing. We will end policies that incentivize offshoring, and instead accelerate onshoring of critical supply chains, including in medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. We will expand effective tax credits that support domestic manufacturing and grow rural manufacturing jobs through investments in bio-based manufacturing.
Good Jobs Start with Good Training
Democrats will invest in career and technical education and high-quality job training programs with formal worker representation in program development, including pre-apprenticeship opportunities and registered apprenticeships. We believe in the value of lifelong learning, and will increase investments to support adult literacy and other skills development programs. We believe in the value of lifelong learning, and will increase investments to support adult literacy and other skills development programs.
Small Businesses are Among the Best Job Creators
Democrats know that small businesses are among the best job creators in our country. We will significantly boost funding for state small business grant and lending initiatives that generate tens of billions of dollars of private-sector investment, especially for small businesses owned by women and people of color. We will increase access to credit for small businesses in low-income and rural areas, including for unbanked or underbanked businesses.

WHAT TRUMP SAYS – Video Transcripts
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING TEXT INCLUDES CLAIMS THAT MAY NOT BE ACTUALLY TRUE.
Liberating Regulatory Onslaught
Cutting wasteful and job-killing regulations was a key part of my America First economic agenda that built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
As I work to quickly save America from Joe Biden’s economic disaster—and that’s what it is, one of the great economic disasters of all time—I will restore my famously successful executive order requiring that for every one NEW regulation, two OLD regulations must be eliminated—and I will ask Congress to make it permanent.
We will again implement a regulatory budget, putting a hard cap on the cost of regulations to the U.S. economy. Instead of GROWING the size and scope of the federal government every year, we will SHRINK it every year with aggressive cost reduction targets for each federal department.
In addition, I will require that all agency regulatory guidance must be posted publicly in a central database, or else be rendered null and void. And many of them will in fact be null and void. This will effectively repeal a mountain of stealth regulations and threats that rogue bureaucrats have imposed without proper oversight.
And I will sign a law to ban bureaucrats from taking any enforcement action based on informal guidance alone. For example, never again will bureaucrats be allowed to bully and pressure banks to choke off or financially de-platform politically disfavored industries. We’re not going to let that happen.
Next, I will bring the independent regulatory agencies, such as the FCC and the FTC, back under Presidential authority, as the Constitution demands. These agencies do not get to become a fourth branch of government, issuing rules and edicts all by themselves. And that’s what they’ve been doing. We will require that they submit any regulations they are considering for White House review.
In addition, we will create an ultra-streamlined federal regulatory framework specifically for Freedom Cities, allowing them to be true frontiers for the return of U.S. manufacturing, the invention of new industries, the rebirth of economic opportunity, and safe and affordable living.
Finally, I will require every federal employee to pass a new Civil Service test demonstrating an understanding of our Constitutional limited government. This will include command of due process rights, equal protection, Free Speech, religious liberty, federalism, the Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure—I know all about that at Mar-a-Lago, don’t I— and all the other constitutional limits on federal power.
We will put unelected bureaucrats back in their place, liberate the U.S. economy, and attract millions of jobs and trillions of dollars to our shores.

HOW THE REPUBLICANS WILL DO IT.
NOTE: INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS WEBSITE COMES EXCLUSIVELY FROM THE DONALD TRUMP WEBSITE WHICH MAY INCLUDES CLAIMS FROM THE CANDIDATE THAT ARE NOT COMPLETELY ACCURATE..
Our Commitment:
American Workers are the most productive, talented, and innovative on Earth. The only thing holding them back is the suffocating policies of the Democrat Party. Our America First Economic Agenda rests on five pillars: Slashing Regulations, cutting Taxes, securing Fair Trade Deals, ensuring Reliable and Abundant Low Cost Energy, and championing Innovation. Together, we will restore Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for all Americans.
Unleash American Energy
Under President Trump, the U.S. became the Number One Producer of Oil and Natural Gas in the World — and we will soon be again by lifting restrictions on American Energy Production and terminating the Socialist Green New Deal. Republicans will unleash Energy Production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash Inflation and power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable Energy. “Drill baby Drill!” – Trump
NOTE: This would create new, good paying jobs in the oil, gas, coal, and nuclear industries
Secure the Border
Republicans will restore every Border Policy of the Trump administration and halt all releases of Illegal Aliens into the interior. We will complete the Border Wall, shift massive portions of Federal Law Enforcement to Immigration Enforcement, and use advanced technology to monitor and secure the Border.
NOTE: This would create new employment in “The Wall” construction, law enforcement and surveillance technology jobs.
Ensure Our Legal Immigration System Puts American Workers First
Republicans will prioritize Merit-based immigration, ensuring those admitted to our Country contribute positively to our Society and Economy, and never become a drain on Public Resources. We will end Chain Migration, and put American Workers first!
NOTE: This may impact person in technology fields as IT jobs are traditionally high paying and in remain by employers. Foreign sponsored worker with IT experience often work for less than American workers making them more desirable .
Cut Regulations
Republicans will slash Regulations that stifle Jobs, Freedom, Innovation and make everything more expensive. We will implement Transparency and Common Sense in rule making.
NOTE: Regulations subject to being rescinded are not disclosed. Lack of regulations in some industries may make job environments more dangerous.
Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent and No Tax on Tips
Republicans will make permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that spurred Economic Growth for all Americans. We will eliminate Taxes on Tips for millions of Restaurant and Hospitality Workers, and pursue additional Tax Cuts.
Fair and Reciprocal Trade Deals
Republicans will continue forging an America First Trade Policy as set forth in Chapter 5, standing up to Countries that cheat and prioritizing American Producers over Foreign Outsourcers. We will bring our critical Supply Chains back home. President Trump turned American Trade Policy around, protecting U.S. Producers, and renegotiating failed agreements.
Save the American Auto Industry
Republicans will revive the U.S. Auto Industry by reversing harmful Regulations, canceling Biden’s Electric Vehicle and other Mandates, and preventing the importation of Chinese vehicles.
NOTE: American car companies are not American, they are Global. America is just one of their markets and the World wants electric cars. Eliminating the import of Chinese electric vehicles would deny Americans freedom of choice, increase dependence on fossil fuel and do nothing to end the threat from global warming.
Buy American and Hire American
Republicans will strengthen Buy American and Hire American Policies, banning companies that outsource jobs from doing business with the Federal Government.
Become the Manufacturing Superpower
By protecting American Workers from unfair Foreign Competition and unleashing American Energy, Republicans will restore American Manufacturing, creating Jobs, Wealth, and Investment.
