Today is #NationalManufacturingDay, a day when we focus on the importance of #manufacturing to the U.S. economy. America’s manufacturers have created jobs at the fastest pace in 15 years, with over 700,000 new jobs added since February 2010. We can do more to spur the manufacturing sector. The House of Representatives just approved a bill I cosponsored, the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation Act. This bill will establish a Network for Manufacturing Innovation to improve the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing, stimulate R&D, and increase domestic production. It will create many more Centers for Manufacturing Innovation, such as the manufacturing center recently awarded to southeastern Michigan that will focus on advanced materials. We also need to address the currency manipulation of trading partners like China that puts our manufacturers at a disadvantage.
