These are the types of high-quality trades careers that you can build a family around.But it wasn’t too long ago that the company behind it — Arcosa Wind Turbines — was in the middle of difficult layoffs at their other facilities around the country.The company’s outlook changed dramatically when we passed the Inflation Reduction Act.Today, Arcosa’s manufacturing orders have surged above $1.1 billion, according to its CEO, allowing the company to expand to new facilities.Just days after President Biden’s visit, the major solar cell and panel manufacturer Maxeon announced it will open a new $1 billion factory that will create 1,800 new jobs in Albuquerque.These massive manufacturing plants in my state are proof that the investments that Congress passed in the...

The new law applies to bans on books and other materials based solely on the inclusion of history related to Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, LGBTQ people and other groups, CalMatters reports.

After a series of denials, the event finally got the go-ahead f...
