The Inflation Reduction Act Goes to Work for America

While you may have heard of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), our new Workers Stories video series actually shows you its positive impact up close. Thanks to $500 billion in capital investments, the clean energy industry is a source of good-quality jobs, economic growth, and energy independence - with the addition of over 160 manufacturing facilities openings or expansions (and counting).

And we've got the proof right here! Sit back and take in the journeys of these clean energy professionals, who represent just six of over 100,000 new manufacturing jobs since the legislation took hold in 2022.

Since 2022, the IRA, along with $500 billion in capital investments, has helped give American manufacturing a tremendous boost, while helping to advance American energy security. As we can see from these real-life stories, investing in clean energy is positively impacting daily life.

By promoting sustainable manufacturing across the U.S., legislation like the IRA can enable higher-quality jobs, happier American families, and a healthier future for us all.
