Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, period.
So, you know, the correlating gas price issue that we're seeing, it's coming down.
Last week, Brent crude oil went down by a great percentage.
And we're going to continue to see gas prices coming down.
It is temporary.
But a metric we look at at the Department of Labor really for the workforce is that wages continue to wage increase continues to beat inflation.
i think that should give american confidence that they're earning more than any inflationary uh temporary gains uh related to the conflict in iran and and you said it best these prices are coming down they'll continue to come down it's temporary and any of the economic numbers that have changed related to that are temporary and will continue to decrease so that is not something that people should worry about people should worry about job opportunities and job opportunities for americans
and industries that have left and have been pushed out of the United States coming back.
This past month, we've seen historic investments.
Eli Lilly, $4.5 billion into Indiana.
General Motors, $830 million for plants in Michigan and Ohio.
And that's what matters to the American workers.
High-paid, high-skilled jobs that left, they're coming back.
Well, that's a key initiative of ours here at the Department of Labor to make sure that not only Americans have the baseline skills and understanding of what these tools can and can't do, but really to dive into what AI's impact on the workforce is.
Right now, so much of the narrative being out there, whether it's related to layoffs or whether it's related to these tools being built that may replace your job, that's really driven by the outside.
And what we're trying to do here is work with private sector partners,
work with tech companies, work with industry who's interested in these products, who's developing these products, and really make sure that the American workers have those skills so they feel comfortable working side by side with AI and not fearing that it's going to be their robot replacement.
So we have an initiative here, both on the AI literacy side, not just for the current workforce, but future generations of workers, working with the Department of Education to make sure that AI literacy
gets into the pre-K through 12 education, working with our state workforce partners, who we give a lot of money to to train the workforce.
We believe that every job is going to have an AI component to it, whether you're in construction, whether you're a lawyer, or really any industries.
