Joe Biden to speak about jobs in Iowa on Wednesday

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden will speak in Iowa again this week about the administration's efforts to create U.S. manufacturing jobs.

Wednesday's speech in Davenport will be the second Iowa speech Biden has given this month. The re-election campaign for Biden and President Barack Obama announced this week's speech on Sunday.

Biden will speak at PCT Engineered Systems in Davenport about how the administration is trying to help the middle class by growing the American manufacturing sector.

Biden also focused on manufacturing jobs during a visit to Iowa State University in early March.

Iowa is seeing several visits from top candidates because it is considered a swing state in November's presidential election.
