One out of six manufacturing jobs in Ohio is gone. That means for every six people in manufacturing, the day that George Bush put up his right hand and took the oath of office, one out of those six people across my State, our State, has lost his or her job in manufacturing. Those are the best-paying industrial jobs. They are the jobs that send kids to college. They are the jobs that buy homes. They are the jobs that buy cars. They are the jobs that put food on the table.
