How might Hillary Clinton help create new jobs if she becomes president?

Clinton’s tech and innovation agenda, released Tuesday, includes a plan to give entrepreneurs time to get their businesses off the ground by delaying their federal school-loan payments for up to three years. Those who start businesses in “distressed communities” will get a chance to have up to $17,500 in school loans forgiven after five years.

The Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign called her tech agenda “a core component of the jobs plan she will put forward in the first 100 days of her Administration, along with investments in infrastructure, clean energy and manufacturing.”

Clinton’s tech platform also includes her previously mentioned goal of bringing broadband access to every U.S. household by 2020; expanding funding for President Obama’s computer science education initiative; and “engaging the private sector” to train and recruit 50,000 computer science teachers.
