The President: for the first time, we can see real,
tangible evidence of what the contours of the new economy
will look like.
It's an economy teeming with new industry and commerce,
and humming with new energy and new technologies,
and bustling with highly skilled, higher-wage workers.
It's an America where a student graduating from college has
the chance to advance through a vibrant job market,
and where an entrepreneur can start a new business
and succeed, and where an older worker can retool
for that new job.
And to fully realize this vision requires steady,
relentless investment in these areas.
We cannot let up and we cannot be complacent.
We have to be hungry as a nation.
We have to compete.
When we do -- if we take the necessary steps to build
on the foundation that through some really hard work we have
laid over the last several years -- I promise you,
over the next 10 years we'll build an economy where wage
growth is stronger than it was in the past three decades.
It is achievable.
