Celebrating Manufacturing Day
On
National Manufacturing Day, Senator Sherrod Brown toured Ohio, meeting
with Ohio business, students, and community leaders to promote one of
our state’s most important industries.
“Today’s Ohio factories aren’t rusty –
they’re innovative and high-tech, and will provide the good-paying,
high-skilled jobs of the future,” said Brown. “Manufacturing
has the strongest multiplier effect of any industry – for every $1 we
invest in manufacturing, we add an additional $1.48 to our economy. In
an era where hard work doesn’t pay off like it used to for so many
workers, investing in good-paying manufacturing jobs is more critical
than ever.”

Brown started his Manufacturing Day tour in Canfield with a visit and roundtable discussion at the Cutting Edge Manufacturing Event. He followed that visit with stops in Guernsey and Muskingum
Counties where he hosted more roundtable discussions on how best to
continue Ohio’s strong tradition of manufacturing and innovation.
Brown has spent his career fighting for Ohio
manufacturing. Some of Brown’s efforts to champion Ohio manufactures and
workers include:
• Summer Manufacturing Camps
• Seeking Better Trade Deals for Ohio workers
• Leading Legislation to Support American Manufacturing
In March, Brown unveiled a plan
to make hard work pay off for Ohioans. For more than a year, Brown and
his office studied the challenges facing workers in Ohio and across the
country and compiled a comprehensive agenda of solutions. Brown has
introduced legislation to implement his plan, and this week, he launched
a new podcast, “Canarycast,” which features discussions moderated by Brown on how to restore the value of work in America.
