Trump's ‘America First' Economy Secures 10-Year Employment High for Manufacturing Workers
2018-07-11
[Breitbart] More American manufacturing workers are employed today than at any time in the last ten years as President Trump’s ’America First’ economy seeks to protect U.S. industry and jobs with tariffs, less immigration, and tax relief.

In June 2018, Trump’s booming economy delivered an additional 36,000 manufacturing jobs for American workers, many of whom have had their livelihoods destroyed by job-killing free trade deals like NAFTA and KORUS.

Specifically, in the metals manufacturing industry, Trump’s tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, and Chinese electronics seems to have boosted U.S. job growth ‐ with 7,000 new jobs in manufacturing fabricated metal products, 5,000 new jobs in manufacturing computer and electronic products, and 3,000 new jobs in manufacturing primary metals.

Additionally, 12,000 car and vehicle parts manufacturing jobs were created in June. In the past year, there have been 285,000 new manufacturing jobs added to the U.S. economy as Trump encourages and incentivizes companies to move production back to the country.

There are now 12.8 million Americans working in the U.S. manufacturing industry, a ten year high for the economy. The last time that many Americans were working in manufacturing was back in December 2008. At that time, 12.8 million Americans had jobs in the industry.

#4  It takes a guy like Trump to come along for many (not the unusually well-informed R-Burgers) to realize just how anti-American Donk policies have been for the U.S. Hillary declared during the run-up to the 2016 election that she and the Dems were going to shut down the coal-mining industry. Her declaration was good for the Trump vote; not so good for Hillary. She communicated that she really didn't like Americans in so many ways and then expected them to vote for her.

#3  ..no problem. They promised to kill those types of jobs and industries. Remember, the Light Bringer said those jobs were never going to come back. See - Scorpion and Frog

#2  It's good, but it's also a pendulum. Hopefully it swings back the other way while a donk is in the White House.

#1  Thank God. These people need good paying jobs and we need a strong manufacturing base for national defense.

MAGA in motion. Thank you Donald. They thank you.
