Washington, D.C. — U.S. factories gained 3,000 jobs in January, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday.
“Factory jobs have been treading water for more than two years now, but there’s a path to growth here. With strong alignment of trade, monetary, and investment policies as we move forward, manufacturing can again expand,” Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul said. “Carefully calibrated tariffs, a Federal Reserve willing to further lower rates, and a determination on the part of Congress and the administration to see semiconductor, infrastructure, and other manufacturing investments play out will be crucial.”
Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul is available for interview.
