Benefits to Rural America from the Inflation Reduction Act: Driving Jobs, Investment, and Economic Resilience

A new report from E2 shows how the IRA's historic investment in America’s rural economic growth and resilience has been transformative.

In its first year, the IRA incentives have spurred 52 major rural manufacturing projects that are projected to create 67,000 rural jobs and nearly $2 billion in worker income, creating viable new career opportunities and revenues to sustain rural communities.

In addition to spurring growth, these IRA funds are essential to ensuring that rural America has access to the benefits of the clean economy transition and that our farms and farming communities are more profitable and more resilient.
