SRES 508
Passed Senate Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This resolution designates November 8, 2025, as "National Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Day" and celebrates the importance of STEM fields in education and the U.S. workforce. The resolution notes that approximately 36 million people work in STEM occupations in the United States, with STEM jobs projected to grow by more than 8 percent between 2024 and 2034, creating around 870,000 new job openings. The resolution identifies demographic gaps in the STEM workforce, noting that women hold less than one-third of STEM jobs and that Hispanic and Black workers are underrepresented in these fields.
