It is not enough to just say that the government is helping build an inclusive economy that works for everyone. People need evidence and examples in their communities. That is why the Center for American Progress has built a new searchable database to help Americans understand how their communities are benefiting. There are more than 35,000 investments gathered in the tracker, and—when available—it provides users with information such as the number of jobs created, historical context, practical outcomes, any environmental or climate benefit, and stories from people who benefit from particular projects, among other detailed information.
