- Recognizes Manufacturing Day
The resolution would have the House support designating the first Friday of October, October 2, 2026, as Manufacturing Day.
The resolution cites manufacturing's contribution of $2,900,000,000,000 to the economy and $393,648,000,000 in research and development spending in 2023. It also points to nearly 12,900,000 people employed directly in manufacturing and says growing skilled, family-wage jobs create an opportunity to promote manufacturing careers to young people and their parents.
