Fact Check

Yellen (Source 9) and a report on her economic strategy (Source 13) explicitly state that investments are supporting well-paying jobs and will 'drive future economic prosperity.' This is strongly corroborated by other official Treasury Department reports (Sources 1, 2, 11, 12) highlighting robust job markets and the positive economic contributions of investment. The sources are all highly credible government publications.
