I go to manufacturers in my districts who are looking for workers, and they find that they are not looking necessarily for a college degree but with the basic skills needed to do some of these jobs in manufacturing.
Lipinski discusses the skills gap in manufacturing jobs and the need for basic skills over degrees.

The rampant delays affecting Amtrak's trains threaten the railroad's growth and even its long-term viability as an operator.
I believe that Congress should establish a dispute resolution process between commuter railroads and freight railroads at the STB.
I have always been a strong advocate for Amtrak, because it provides an important public service: national passenger rail service.
Ultimately, the furloughs and long-distance service cuts are misguided, and weaken our national passenger rail service.
