BALTIMORE — U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta joined the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) at Marlin Steel Wire Products in Baltimore Oct. 6 to tour the facility, meet with employees, and highlight the profound impact manufacturing has on the economy as part of Manufacturing Day. Secretary Acosta also spoke to participants about how tax reform will help small business across America.
“Today we celebrate more than 12 million Americans who work in manufacturing and millions more who work in the jobs that support the industry,” said Acosta. “The impact of manufacturing on the American economy, and the value of these family-sustaining jobs, can’t be underestimated. Expanding economic opportunity through workplace education, commonsense regulations, and tax reform will strengthen manufacturing for decades to come.”
