Today I'm signing two bills that promote women entering and leading the STEM positions -- science, technology, engineering, and math. Currently, only one in every four women who get a STEM degree is working in a STEM job, which is not fair and it's not even smart for the people that aren’t taking advantage of it. It's unacceptable that we have so many American women who have these degrees but yet are not being employed in these fields. So I think that's going to change. That's going to change very rapidly.
Protecting women with STEM degrees, and all Americans with STEM degrees is very important, but it also means you have to crack down on offshoring because the offshoring is a tremendous problem that displaces many of our best American workers and brains -- the brain power.
The second bill that was signed and that's the H.R. 321, the INSPIRE Women Act. It ensures that the existing NASA programs recruit women to STEM-related jobs and aerospace careers. Great news. The way to go. Very heavy into the whole NASA situation. So women will be a big, big part of it.
H.R. 255, the Promoting Women in Entrepreneurship Act, enables the National Science Foundation to support women inventors -- which there are many -- researchers, and scientists in bringing their discoveries to the business world, championing science and entrepreneurship, and creating new ways to improve people’s lives. So important.
We need policies that help support women in the workforce, and that's very much going to be addressed by my administration over the years, and to get more and more of these bills coming out, and discuss the barriers faced by female and those in STEM fields. We want American women who graduate from college with STEM degrees to be able to get STEM jobs that can support their families and help these American women to live out the American Dream, which they are so qualified to live out.
