We all were elected to create jobs, and I thank Mr. Mittler for his comment that Congress should be a sensible partner with business.

I think it would be very beneficial to move that back into schools at the earliest educational levels.

I would love to get bipartisan support from the panel that will provide tax incentives to employers who partner with local colleges to prepare students for the workforce.

So how can we all be working together to encourage those types of programs in our public schools?

Your comment about the math skills, that is precisely what I am running into.

I think they need to be implemented more across the board throughout the whole country.

The other thing that it does, just to add, is that it provides access to markets as well because it familiarizes more people with the product.

I appreciate it. I was planning to yield back to wait for the next panel but I appreciate this conversation so much I just wanted to weigh in very briefly.

And if I could just very briefly with my one second left, what is the average hourly wage of the incoming employees?

One of the most successful companies that I have visited on this Congress at our Company tour--I visited 17 small companies now and one of them has an ESOP.

I commend you and Ms. Brownley for your leadership on this.
