mr. delaney in the back of the chame -- mr. delaney, in the back of the chamber. congressman delaney has been leading an effort in our state to make sure that we raise the minimum wage. making sure the affordable care act expands access to quality health care as intended. we must also create a pathway to citizenship and opportunities for undocumented workers who are living in the shadows in poverty, as part of a comprehensive immigration reform. and we must be vigorous in enforcing our laws that prevent discrimination in housing, hiring and access to education. mr. speaker, if we are to make serious progress in the war on poverty in the years to come, it will have to be as a result of both parties working together, to prioritize economic opportunity and upward mobility. mr. speaker, i will say that there are republican leaders, and i applaud them for it, who are talking about and focusing on those in poverty, those who have little in our country. i applaud them for talking. but talk is not enough. we must invest in making sure that they can avail themselves of the

mr. delaney asked about and this whole issue of barbelling or the fact that you said employment has occurred at the higher, at least higher educational level and, um, lower educational level. and that that middle portion, i guess we're trying to figure out what types of jobs would those be that aren't growing -- >> uh-huh. >> -- and if you have some indication of that. and if you are a -- because you have it by education and not necessarily skill set which, of course, when we're looking at it, we're trying to figure out skill set. if you're an employer trying to figure out skill set, not whether somebody went to college or not. so my question to you is when we see these young people coming out of university and they have a college degree but they may not have a set skill set because they maybe don't have the work experience, would those students fall into that, that barbell middle portion where hiring is not happening? do you have any statistics on that? >> yeah. um, let me, let me see. um, well, the middle, the middle area of these very large occupational groups that i'm talking about are s
