Wanted to be sure you had seen the latest Economic Policy Institute analysis showing that the Build Back Better Agenda will provide crucial economic opportunity and job growth for millions of Americans as the economy continues to recover from COVID-19 and returns to normal patterns. These findings fall squarely in line with a report from Moody's Analytics that found the Build Back Better Agenda will “add 1.5 million jobs per year on average across the whole decade and increase labor force participation.”

From the report: “[Passing the Build Back Better Agenda] would provide a host of benefits besides simple macroeconomic stabilization, boosting long-run growth and economic security through public investment and deeper social insurance.
