Ohio: A good example of voters saying "We want manufacturing jobs."
Posted by scapozzola on 07/30/2011
From 2000-2008, Ohio lost nearly 300,000 manufacturing jobs. No doubt Ohio voters want Washington to focus on job creation and restoring manufacturing.
They wouldn't be alone, though. As the Alliance for American Manufacturing's (AAM) new poll shows, voters across the political spectrum agree with Ohioans. It's high time for Washington to put forward a credible plan to revitalize manufacturing.
In an interview with WKSU Ohio Public Radio, AAM Executive Director Scott Paul explained why "concern for manufacturing jobs is widespread and growing." Unfortunately, "the debate over the debt ceiling" distracts from voter demands

US Manufacturing Jobs
Not only have we failed keeping good manufacturing jobs in America but also failed in educating the next generation. Most engineers will come from China and India. While we argue over dept ceiling the rest of the world is steadily educating their next generation. Bringing back manufacturing without the proper intellectual resources will be difficult at best.
