Washington, D.C. — On Tuesday, August 21, Gov. Jack Markell (D-DE) and a panel of distinguished policy and public opinion experts will join the Center for American Progress and the Center for the Next Generation to discuss a new report analyzing workforce investments by China and India and the effects on U.S. competitiveness.
