Hoyer Statement on Joint Economic Committee Hearing on Manufacturing

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Joint Economic Committee held a hearing on recent growth in the manufacturing sector and how we can continue to bolster manufacturing here in the U.S.:
"Today, the Joint Economic Committee held an important hearing, titled 'Manufacturing in the USA: Why We Need a National Manufacturing Strategy.' I strongly agree about the importance of manufacturing to the American economy, and I thank the JEC for calling attention to this issue. Manufacturing is crucial to our economic competitiveness, our leadership in innovation, and the future of our middle class. That's why it is essential that America develop a manufacturing strategy, just as competitors like China and Germany have. I am a strong supporter of the Make It In America agenda, which includes the National Manufacturing Strategy Act--a bill introduced by Congressman Dan Lipinski that directs the president to develop a national manufacturing strategy. I hope that both Republicans and Democrats can come together to implement this agenda and create manufacturing jobs."
