    This week’s Friday Facts takes a look at President Obama’s State of the Union address, where he laid out his blueprint for an America built to last: one based on American manufacturing, American energy, the skills of American workers, and a renewal of American values.

    Here’s a quick rundown of some of the proposals he outlined in his speech:

    • Train and place 2 million Americans in good jobs through partnerships between businesses and community colleges that give workers the skills employers need.

    • Lower tax rates for manufacturing companies that create jobs in the United States.

    • Promote the safe and responsible development of natural gas, which will support more than 600,000 jobs while ensuring public health and safety.

    Download the fact sheet to get the whole State of the Union overview, then share it with your family and friends.
