Trump Signs Bills Supporting Women Entrepreneurs and Women in STEM FieldsBy Melanie Arter | February 28, 2017 | 3:31 PM ESTPresident Donald Trump (AP Photo)(CNSNews.com) – President Donald Trump signed into law two bills on Tuesday aimed at encouraging women to pursue careers in science and business fields.“Today I’m signing two bills that promote women entering and leading the STEM fields – science, technology, engineering, and math. Currently, only one in four women who gets 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,” Trump said.“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, and it’s going to change very rapidly. Protecting women with STEM degrees and all Americans with STEM degrees – very important, but it also means you have to crackdown on offshoring, because the offshoring is a tremendous problem that displaces many of our American workers and brains, the brain power,” he said.Continued: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-arter/trumps-signs-bills-supporting-women-entrepreneurs-and-women-stem-fields
