AI Summary
This concurrent resolution celebrates the significance of the manufacturing industry in Vermont's economy by highlighting its economic contributions and importance. The resolution recognizes that manufacturing generates nearly $3 billion, representing over 8 percent of the state's GDP, and employs approximately 30,000 workers, which constitutes 10.5 percent of Vermont's private sector workforce. The resolution emphasizes that manufacturing jobs typically offer wages above the state average, providing workers with greater economic mobility and helping to attract and retain talent. Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the industry's role in fostering strategic relationships with neighboring regions like New England, New York, Canada, and the broader global economy. Specifically, the resolution designates April 2, 2025 as Manufacturing Day at the State House and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to key industry organizations including the Associated Industries of Vermont, Vermont Regional Development Corporations, Vermont Chamber of Commerce, and Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center, thereby officially recognizing and supporting the state's manufacturing sector.
