America’s Infrastructure Just Got Its Grades (And They're Not All Bad!)


Listen Later

🚨 Attention! 🚨 The ASCE just dropped their latest Infrastructure Report Card…and in this episode, we break it down for you so you know where the work (and money!) is headed! 😉

The ASCE Infrastructure Report Card is an in-depth analysis of the conditions of 18 major infrastructure categories across the US. The current overall grade? 🤔

A solid C — which, believe it or not, is actually a step in the right direction — but it’s not all good news either. 😞

Some categories crucial to our own economy and day-to-day life — or worse, our safety — saw grades slip, and there’s still a big investment gap to make sure our infrastructure is not in bad shape…or even close to a complete crash! 😨

So, this is a great way to understand where more civil engineers will be needed, where the money is going, and what kinds of projects are likely to take off in the coming years…so you can position yourself in the right place, at the right time. 😉 💰
