Both candidates want to increase jobs through infrastructure opportunities — the buildings, roads, power, and supplies states need in order to function. While a lot of the job growth that had occurred during the Trump presidency has been diminished by the coronavirus pandemic, he's called for a $2 trillion infrastructure bill to help bring jobs and the economy back to life, in addition to suspending immigration in order to protect jobs for American citizens.
Biden has said he wants to focus job growth on clean energy jobs specifically to help the country move to less greenhouse gas emissions and increase funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership in order to boost jobs for the middle class.
But the biggest difference when it comes to working families and jobs is how each candidate wants to approach minimum wage. Currently 1.8 million Americans make at or below the federal minimum wage, which is approximately 2.3 percent of the workforce. President Trump has said he'd like to see federal minimum wage increase (currently it's $7.25 per hour), but believes the states should have the right to raise minimum wage higher than the federal minimum. Biden has called for a nationwide $15 minimum wage as part of his campaign.
