House Resolution No. 157.
A resolution to declare October 2, 2015, as Michigan Manufacturers Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Since the nineteenth century, manufacturing has played an integral role in Michigan’s economy; and
Whereas, By the 1890’s, Michigan had become a national leader in the manufacture of vehicles, with over 125 manufacturers and 7,000 workers; and
Whereas, Michigan was also a pioneer in the manufacture of iron, steel, paper products, and consumer goods, such as furniture, cereal, pharmaceuticals, and appliances and continues to create all of these products as well as many others; and
Whereas, Today, manufacturing in the state of Michigan is responsible for more than $70 billion in total output and one-fifth of the state’s gross state product; and
Whereas, There are currently more than 598,000 manufacturing jobs in Michigan, representing 13.5 percent of non-farm employment; and
Whereas, Jobs in manufacturing pay 24 percent better than the private average wage, providing families and communities with stability in a changing world; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body hereby declare October 2, 2015, as Michigan Manufacturers Day in the state of Michigan.
