Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Manufacturing Day and the importance of Minnesota's manufacturing industry. Manufacturing is one of the main drivers of the economy in my district and my State. Manufacturers generate billions of dollars in revenue for my State each year, making them a key pillar of Minnesota's economy. Minnesota is home to an impressive 292,000 manufacturing jobs, and the State's manufacturing industry has the second largest payroll of any business sector. Minnesotans are hardworking people, and they deserve the best that life has to offer. They deserve a strong State economy, which allows for individual growth, prosperity, and the pursuit of happiness. That is why I will continue to emphasize the importance of manufacturing- friendly policies for as long as I serve in Congress. I am proud to support Manufacturing Day in our country, but I want to make it clear that every day is Manufacturing Day in Minnesota. Hal Becker, a Servant to Delano
