Sign up[MUSIC] 0:00 America's where entrepreneurs come to start the greatest startups, 0:05 where the most cutting edge ideas are born and are launched. 0:09 Right now, America has more job openings than at any point since 2001. 0:13 Over half a million of those jobs are technology jobs. 0:19 So, today, I want to focus on something very specific. 0:23 And that is, how can we work together 0:28 to build a pipeline of tech workers for this new economy? 0:32 The truth is, 0:37 two thirds of these jobs are in non-high tech industries like healthcare or 0:38 manufacturing or banking, which means they're in every corner of the country. 0:43 See there's no industry that hasn't been touched by this technology revolution. 0:50 And what's more, 0:54 a lot of these jobs don't require a four year degree in computer science. 0:56 Folks can get the skills they need for these jobs in newer, 1:01 streamlined, faster training programs. 1:05 And Americans don't believe in equality of outcomes. 1:11 We understand that you've got to work hard in this country. 1:14 You don't just sit around waiting for something to happen, you gotta go get it. 1:18 But, [APPLAUSE] we do believe in equal opportunity. 1:22 We do believe in expanding opportunity to everybody who's willing to work hard. 1:29 We do believe that in this country no matter what you look like or 1:35 where you come from, how you started out, if you're willing to put in some blood and 1:38 sweat and tears, you should be able to make it. 1:42 [APPLAUSE] And get a decent job and get a decent wage to build 1:44 an economy where everybody shares in America's prosperity and 1:48 everybody's contributing to America's prosperity. 1:52 Thank you very much, everybody. 1:55 [SOUND] 1:56 [MUSIC] 1:58
