New Report Compares US Manufacturing Records
The Bluegreen Alliance has released a comprehensive report that compares the manufacturing agendas and outcomes of the Biden-Harris and Trump administrations.
Manufacturing Job Growth Under Biden-Harris
Since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office, the US has added over 775,000 manufacturing jobs to the economy. The growth is projected to continue, driven by significant legislation such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with an estimated creation of 336,000 manufacturing jobs per year until 2035.
Job Losses During the Trump Administration
In contrast, the Trump administration experienced a loss of more than 200,000 manufacturing jobs during its single term. Even before the pandemic's onset, the manufacturing sector saw a stagnation in job growth.
Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act
According to Ted Fertik, Vice President of Manufacturing and Industrial Policy at the Bluegreen Alliance, the Inflation Reduction Act significantly boosts the US manufacturing sector. Various metrics, including job creation and investments, indicate that the Biden-Harris administration has outperformed the previous administration.
Project 2025 and Potential Job Losses
The report also analyzes Project 2025, which proposes a restructuring of the US government based on conservative principles. New research indicates this plan could result in a loss of 1.7 million jobs by 2030 if implemented.
Concerns Over Manufacturing Investments
Fertik expressed concerns that the proponents of Project 2025 aim to reverse vital manufacturing investments and revert to policies detrimental to manufacturing communities.
Previous Report on Worker Safety
This report follows an earlier analysis by the Bluegreen Alliance that investigated worker health and safety policies during the Trump and Biden-Harris administrations, examining various regulatory measures aimed at protecting workers.
