One of the most effective ways Congress can help create new jobs is to help entrepreneurs create new companies. Start-ups create millions of new jobs each year, many of them in sectors like technology and manufacturing that pay well and offer competitive benefits. I'm proud to be marking "Start-Up Day Across America" today, first launched by my colleague Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado in 2013 to highlight the economic benefits of start-up companies and raise awareness of ways Congress and communities can help start-ups launch and thrive.
