                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing support for the designation of October as ``Manufacturing 
                                Month''.

Whereas, in 2021, manufacturers contributed $2,496,000,000 to the economy, 
        accounting for 10.70 percent of gross domestic product;
Whereas this figure is an all-time high;
Whereas more than 13,200,000 people in the United States (or 10.3 percent of the 
        workforce) are employed directly in manufacturing in 2022, while many 
        millions more jobs are supported through the supply chain and related 
        industries;
Whereas, in August 2023, the average hourly earnings for the manufacturing 
        worker was $32.61 an hour;
Whereas, in 2022, every dollar spent in manufacturing adds an additional $2.79 
        to the economy, making it the highest multiplier of any economic sector;
Whereas, in 2022, manufacturing represented 60 percent of American exports; and
Whereas the month of October would be an appropriate time to designate as 
        ``Manufacturing Month'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``Manufacturing Month''.
