Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” fame spoke out to members of Congress, staffers, and the media about the importance of manufacturing to the health of our economy and American jobs, introducing local workers from across the U.S. who depend on manufacturing to tell their stories of how they help “make America.”
Rowe has been an outspoken advocate of the trades and infrastructure in America, and his website, provides information about America’s infrastructure, national and state resources as well as job listings.
“I Make America” is a national grassroots effort to dramatically strengthen American manufacturing jobs in the U.S. to improve the economy and the country’s global competitiveness. Every day America’s manufacturing base ? the backbone of a strong economy ? keeps shrinking. Over the past 10 years, manufacturing in the U.S. has shed 5.5 million jobs, and unemployment in the manufacturing sector remains notably higher than the national average.
