Harder Announces California Gained 32,600 Manufacturing Jobs in 2021

Press Release

Today, Representative Josh Harder announced that California added 32,600 manufacturing jobs in 2021, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Rep. Harder helped Central Valley manufacturers create and restore jobs by passing the American Rescue Plan and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. He is also working to create even more domestic manufacturing jobs by passing the America COMPETES Act which will supercharge American manufacturing and strengthen the supply chain.

"Every day 100,000 folks from our community drive over the Altamont Pass to work, spending hours in their cars instead of with their loved ones. We need more high paying jobs here in our community, and we need them now," said Rep. Harder. "Today's numbers show we're heading in the right direction, but we still have a long way to go. I'm committed to working alongside our friends in the private sector to bring good paying jobs to the Valley and keep them here."
