Some industries - and the jobs the create - impact every aspect of life for every member of society, every day. Manufacturing is one of those.
At a time when the global economy is once again morhping and being reshaped by various economic, political and financial forces, manufacturing has never been more vital for the USA than it is today.
Here are a few good reasons why we should care about manufacturing in America:
- Job Opportunities: Manufacturing is one of the crucial sectors that employs millions of people across different categories of jobs such as engineers, technicians, operators, and support functions. By supporting American manufacturing, you contribute to creating job opportunities for skilled professionals who work hard to earn their livelihood. Our P1 Pathways Program is one of the ways we're playing our part.
- Local Economies: Manufacturing helps to create economic growth by supporting local businesses through increased demand for raw materials or goods needed to produce finished products. This boosts the economy by creating new income streams, leading to more spending at both individual and regional levels. Our vision at P1 is to revitalize American manufacturing, beginning with our home city, where we've built three new factories.
- National Security: Manufacturing remains a vital component of our nation's security by offering technology capabilities, innovations, control over supply chains, and ensuring access to critical supplies such as medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and weapons for national defense. P1 is proud to be a trusted supplier for several vital industries, including Defense, Energy, Oil and Gas.
- Environmental Safety: The United States has strict environmental laws instituted on the regulations of the manufacturing processes, thereby ensuring safer working conditions and cleaner generations of materials used in products compared to other countries that don't have strong regulatory requirements.
Supporting American manufacturing ensures that we strengthen our nation's workforce, boost our economies, secure our country from outside threats, and protect our environment. At P1 Manufacturing isn't only our passion - it's our purpose.
We all, as Americans, play a pivotal role in sustaining and encouraging the production and consumption of locally made goods, thereby ensuring a robust, healthy, enduring future for our children.
One more vital aspect to take into account is the chance it presents for Americans to enhance manufacturing processes, with a focus on automation, efficiency and environmental advantages, through practical experience. Furthermore, some people may discover that this kind of work better aligns with their personality, as not all individuals are inclined towards computer-oriented tasks, such as app development.
