Manufacturing is upto a 10 month high.
This isn't some random figure of interest only to some accountant in a flickering fluorescent lighted cubicle.
No. This is a REAL NUMBER that means REAL JOBS in America. Here's a headline I read on Sunday:
"Oceana County, Rothbury celebrate foundry reopening; 300 jobs possible by 2013"
Rothbury Steel is a “reshoring,” a recent movement of manufacturing back to the United States from places like China and Eastern Europe, Moein said. American manufacturing has become cost competitive and is producing superior quality in a timely manner.
Where is Rothbury? Rothbury is a small town 20 miles to the North of Muskegon, that's where Rothbury is. Awesome annual music festival,
Electric Forest Festival , Rothbury. 300 new manufacturing jobs, Rothbury. Starting at 200 jobs RIGHT NOW, Rothbury.
Manufacturing IS UP for the MONTH of APRIL for the STRONGEST GROWTH for TEN MONTHS. And that MEANS something. Right here, right now, it means 200 men and women will be going home and telling their partner not to worry anymore. That things are going to be okay.
Oceana County, the county where Rothbury is located, has been for some time among the poorest counties in Michigan with over a third of the people there on State or Federal assistance. 200 jobs in a county with a population of 27,000 people is HUGE.
Manufacturing IS UP for the MONTH of APRIL for the STRONGEST GROWTH for TEN MONTHS.
And that actually means something.
