                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                           November 19, 2025

    Ms. Rosen (for herself and Mrs. Capito) submitted the following 
             resolution; which was considered and agreed to

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
   Designating November 8, 2025, as ``National Science, Technology, 
     Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day'' and celebrating the 
  importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in 
           education and the workforce in the United States.

Whereas the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics shows that 
        nearly 36,000,000 people of the United States are employed in science, 
        technology, engineering, and mathematics (referred to in this preamble 
        as ``STEM'') occupations in the United States;
Whereas the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that STEM occupations are projected 
        to grow by more than 8 percent between 2024 and 2034;
Whereas approximately 870,000 new STEM job openings will become available within 
        the next decade;
Whereas, in 2019, only 20 percent of high school graduates in the United States 
        were fully prepared for college-level STEM curriculum courses;
Whereas women are largely underrepresented in the STEM workforce and hold less 
        than \1/3\ of all STEM jobs;
Whereas the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics shows that, 
        in 2021, Hispanic workers represented only 15 percent of the STEM 
        workforce and Black workers represented only 9 percent; and
Whereas teaching STEM subjects to students in the classroom can help inspire 
        them to consider STEM career paths: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates November 8, 2025, as ``National Science, 
        Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day'';
            (2) celebrates the importance of science, technology, 
        engineering, and mathematics in education and the workforce in 
        the United States; and
            (3) urges the people of the United States to observe 
        National STEM Day with appropriate programs and activities.
