John Shimkus said "in April it was reported that employers added 288,000 jobs to the payroll, including 21,000 in the manufacturing sector. Progress is being made. The outsourcing- insourcing debate then has waned a little bit. But I want to highlight Richland County in Illinois, 16,000 people in the community of Olney, that has 8,000. They actively pursue and ask for international business to come. In fact they are home for companies from Germany, Austria, Japan, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands. These international companies located in rural Illinois provide high wages and great benefits to their citizens. We should be appreciative of all companies that create jobs, both U.S. companies and international companies, that want to do business in the United States." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
