Ivanka Trump: More good news for American workers
Post# of 65629
Today, Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump visited Toyota Motor’s manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Kentucky—the company’s largest auto plant in the world—as part of the Trump Administration’s major push to expand job opportunities for American workers.
Just two weeks ago, Toyota announced a massive $13 billion investment in the United States that will add about 600 new manufacturing jobs in Alabama, West Virginia, Missouri, and Tennessee.
But the company didn’t stop there. Today, they doubled down on their commitment by signing President Trump’s “Pledge to America’s Workers.”
More than 200 companies have signed the pledge thus far, totaling more than 6.7 million new opportunities for the U.S. workforce. By adding its signature this morning, Toyota promised to create 200,000 enhanced career and training opportunities in Central Kentucky and across the United States.
On the factory floor, Ms. Trump was joined by Gov. Matt Bevin (R-KY), getting a firsthand look at the company’s advanced manufacturing programs while meeting with employees and students.
“We have 7.3 million vacant jobs, but we have 6.5 million unemployed Americans,” Ms. Trump said. “So, there are people who need those jobs, and these training programs provide them the pathway to those jobs.”
