Business Roundtable Senior Vice President of Corporate Initiatives Dane Linn and Vice President of Education & Workforce Donald R. McIntosh recently participated in a virtual discussion on the workforce development challenges facing America’s companies. Linn spoke to how Roundtable companies are helping to solve workforce issues: “What we have been doing is building a set of initiatives that are an attempt to get companies to take action. Policies are our bread and butter, but we’re not waiting for policy to help fix the problems that companies are trying to address now.” McIntosh discussed policies to address today’s workforce challenges: “On the legislative front, one, WIOA [Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act] reauthorization, two, expansion of Pell eligibility or so-called ‘short-term or workforce Pell’ and the third, on the regulatory front, modernization of registered apprenticeships.” Learn more about Business Roundtable’s Corporate Initiatives here ⬇️

Business Roundtable today released its Q3 2024 CEO Economic Outlook Survey, an index of CEO plans for capital spending and employment and expectations for sales over the next 6 months. The overall Index dipped 5 points from last quarter to 79 and is below its historic average of 83 for the first time in 2024. The decrease is the result of a modest reduction in CEO plans for employment and an easing in expectations for sales. Plans for capital investment have marginally increased from Q2.

ICYMI: Texas Instruments is building toward sustainable manufacturing and a stronger American workforce. The company will bring 2,000 new TI jobs to the U.S., plus thousands of indirect jobs for suppliers, construction and supporting industries. This development is thanks to their preliminary agreement to receive $1.6 billion in CHIPS and Science Act funding for semiconductor manufacturing in Texas and Utah, plus even more in investment tax credit. "The historic CHIPS Act is enabling more semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the U.S., making the semiconductor ecosystem stronger and more resilient… With plans to grow our internal manufacturing to more than 95% by 2030, we're building geopolitically dependable, 300mm capacity at scale to provide the analog and embedded processing chips our customers will need for years to come,” said Haviv Ilan, president and CEO of Texas Instruments.
