"While manufacturing employment has rebounded during the past three years, there is a gap today between the skills employers want and the experience workers have."

"American manufacturers are the most productive in the world, far surpassing the worker productivity of any other major manufacturing economy."

"For decades, manufacturing has been a pathway to the middle class for millions of families--offering good wages, good benefits and a shot at home ownership."

"Manufacturing remains central to the U.S. economy today, making up about one-eighth of GDP."
