Gov. statistics also show that in major textile producing states, 1 textile job supports 3 additional jobs in a community through its supply chain.
On a weekly basis, manufacturing jobs pay:
đź’¸ 20% percent more than service jobs
đź’¸ 15.5% percent more than the average private-sector job

Love the #MadeinUSA OOTD here, @RepDeluzio. Who else on Capitol Hill is up for this?

Should U.S. lawmakers be expected to wear American-made apparel? @RepDeluzio shows how it’s done with a #MadeinUSA OOTD captured by @lauren_greennn. If you’re still building out your own American-made wardrobe, we know exactly where to start!

NCTO CEO Kim Glas at the White House Made in America Council delivered a clear message to federal agencies: Buy more fully Made in America products.
Let's work together to end govt. procurement of foreign-made products. We can make it here! 👇

We sincerely thank @LindseyGrahamSC for introducing the Coast Guard Personnel Equipment Act, which would require all U.S. Coast Guard uniforms to be made in the United States. This bill supports U.S. #textile jobs & strengthens our warm industrial base .👇

The U.S. #textile industry commends Sen. Graham for introducing an important bill that requires all U.S. Coast Guard uniforms to be U.S.-made & puts S.C. & U.S. #textile manufacturers first in the production of textiles, uniforms & gear to meet our national security needs.

đź“°Graham Introduces Legislation That Supports South Carolina Textile Industry And Continues His Push To Buy Americanđź“°
For too long, America-last policies have led to an over-reliance on other nations for essentials, including military clothing, putting our national security in jeopardy. My legislation would end this practice by ensuring uniforms for all branches of the armed forces are made in the USA.
I’m proud to stand with @POTUS in support of American workers and consumers. A secure and reliable domestic supply chain for the textile industry not only impacts readiness but also our economy. The Coast Guard Personnel Equipment Act would greatly benefit South Carolina’s textile producers and workers, who have been gravely undercut by unfair trade practices for decades.

NCTO and the U.S. #textile industry agree with you, Senator Scott. We thank you and President Trump for amplifying the need for all federal agencies to buy American-made products. This will support American jobs and a vibrant domestic manufacturing industry.
May 11
GREAT NEWS! This is how it should be.
Â
Earlier this year, I wrote to the heads of every executive agency requesting they BUY AMERICAN ONLY. This is especially important for generic drugs.
I’m glad to see @POTUS taking this action so we can be LESS dependent on foreign nations, create MORE American jobs, and STOP sending taxpayer dollars overseas.

The U.S. #textile industry applauds President Trump for calling on all federal agencies to "BUY AMERICAN." An expansion of government procurement for American-made uniforms & textiles will support a strategic domestic manufacturing industry & hundreds of thousands of jobs.

🚨Great story underscoring how targeted tariffs must be combined w/policies to bring U.S. #textile jobs back & spur onshoring. NCTO CEO Kim Glas, Cotswold Indus. & Mount Vernon point to Southeast Asia's rise & what it will take to grow the US supply chain.

We used to produce the best textiles in the world. But like so many other great American industries, our elites and political class sold it out for profits and cheap stuff.

NCTO was honored to host @RealPNavarro at our annual meeting last week. Thank you for all that you do every day to help counter the impacts of globalism on the U.S. textile industry and help build a stronger American manufacturing industrial base here at home!

🧵What do textiles teach us about globalism?
I talked about this recently at an event hosted by @NCTO.
In 1973, the denim in virtually every pair of blue jeans, in America and around the world, was made in Greensboro, N.C.

The U.S. textile industry strongly agrees! We sincerely thank you and the Trump administration for supporting us and elevating the urgency of expanding government procurement of American-made textiles & uniforms to spur growth & investment!

6/ Economic security is national security.
Without domestic production, you have neither.
This is why @POTUS is bolstering BUY AMERICAN rules and using the power of federal procurement to create the demand American manufacturers need to INVEST, HIRE, and EXPAND.
