A roundtable focused on how to bring tech jobs to Janesville and Rock County was held Friday at UW Whitewater at Rock County.

City Manager Mark Freitag said that the city of Janesville purposefully brought in a diverse amount of businesses and that there are skilled workers in the area who have an appetite to work tech jobs.

Silicon Valley congressman Ro Khanna says that the majority of investment in tech is concentrated to a few locations, but that there are talented people everywhere and people shouldn’t have to move away to work in tech or start tech companies.

Khanna has been visiting communities impacted by the loss of manufacturing and trying to get technology jobs in places like Janesville.
