Teachers are the workforce behind the workforce. We must have the most qualified individuals leading our schools and education programs. We must provide students with the preparation to succeed in the workforce. #txed #txlege

When surveyed by the @DallasFed late last year, Texas firms ranked "labor shortages/difficulty hiring" among their top concerns, eclipsing inflation and interest rates. By advancing education, we can develop our workforce and invest in our economy. #txed #txlege

Advancing #education supports a highly skilled #workforce and ensures the continued success of our #Texas #economy.
Texas remains an economic leader in the nation. To maintain this standing #txlege should invest in our education systems. By 2030, 62% of jobs will require a postsecondary credential, but only 48% of Texans currently have one. #txed
