MEMORANDUM

Posted:	May 13, 2015 01:56 PM
From:	Representative Kate Harper
To:	All House members
Subject:	American Made Matters Day in PA

In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution recognizing November 19, 2015 as “American Made Matters Day” in Pennsylvania. On November 19th consumers will be encouraged to buy at least one American-made product to show their support of American manufacturing. This day will also kick off a movement encouraging Americans to buy products made in America throughout the upcoming holiday season. I believe it is important to highlight the positive impact that American manufacturing has on jobs, local communities, the United States economy, product safety and the future of America. The United States Bureau of Economic Analysis reports that every $1 spent on American-made goods invests an additional $1.35 in the United States economy. It should also be noted that the Federal Advanced Manufacturing Portal states that one new manufacturing job creates 1.6 additional jobs in local service businesses and jobs in high-tech manufacturing industries generate up to five local service jobs. Therefore, I hope that you will join me in sponsoring this important initiative.
