The NAM's Jay Timmons provides an election 2010 update from Council of State Manufacturing Associations (COSMA) meeting in Minnesota. Jay speaks with Deborah Woolley, CEO, of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry. They discuss how uncertain and inconsistent economic legislation is making manufacturers reluctant to add jobs and commit funds to expansion. They ask manufacturers to energize and engage leading up to the November 2010 elections and to understand their impact on the future of U.S. manufacturing.
The 2010 mid-term elections are now complete. Voters sent a very clear message to Congress in Washington. That message is good for manufacturers and the manufacturing agenda in the United States. Americans remain focused on economic growth and job creation, and their top priority is for the new Congress to advance policies that will ensure America's ability to successfully compete in the international marketplace.

With our nation more integrated with the world economy than ever before, the fate of the American worker depends on a globally competitive American economy. And unless policy makers embark on an agenda that improves our country's underlying competiveness, the prospects for American workers could be discouraging going forward. These are the major findings of the 13th annual NAM Labor Day Report. David Huether, Chief Economist for the NAM, explains his findings in this podcast.
