In an article by WSLS it claims that “the Commonwealth [is] the best in the nation when it comes to STEM jobs.” Not only does it support, and provide evidence for “high entrenpenuership and innovation,” but also exposes STEM fields to students at a young age. Experts within STEM fields believe that this exposure expands the industry’s growth. Nevertheless, even with early exposure, job predictions, and positive forecasts, one thing that can damage any industry is the government that provides for the program. The harsh truth is that once Congress takes a hit, all programs under take the hit too. Such an occasion happened when Sequestration took hold of the nation; the nation was in a panic unsure of what would happen, and then budget cuts occurred which made several fields experience a regression in their work. Virginia was no exception. However, like all great things, this hit didn’t impact the way Virginia treated STEM, in fact it made it
