While President Trump turns his attention to infrastructure this week (and um, tweets about some other stuff), lawmakers on Capitol Hill are pushing new legislation to encourage manufacturing job creation.
Introduced by Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), the Jobs & Trade Competitiveness Act contains 12 concrete proposals designed to spur factory job growth and provide new tools to enforce U.S. trade laws. Included in the bill are provisions to require more funding for trade enforcement and the creation of a non-partisan congressional office to work on trade enforcement issues.
