Clyde Strickland believes every American should hear this story
At it’s peak in 1979, manufacturing employed more than 19 million American workers. However, in that same year, the manufacturing sector began a decline that would last several decades. By 2009, manufacturing reached its lowest number since before World War II, at just 12 twelve million workers.
Recently, a focus on bringing American manufacturing back to the forefront of the US economy has engaged everyone from manufacturing employers and workers, to legislators, educational facilities and even consumers as being a part of the solution. By understanding where and how products are made in the United States, and supporting American manufacturers, individuals have contributed to a resurgence of American manufacturing. There is hope once again that America can return to the manufacturing greatness it once held.
