Congressmen Tim Ryan, Tom Reed Launch New House Manufacturing Caucus
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) Rep.
Ralph Resnick told the audience that the U.S. has to take advantage of the innovative movement in manufacturing, and suggested the need to leverage the maker movement. Resnick also believes that for the U.S. to compete and overtake China in the area of manufacturing, we need to build infrastructure and constantly innovate. For example, the new developments in 3-D printing are revolutionizing parts manufacturing across many industries.
“Robots don’t take away jobs,” said Resnick. “By taking advantage of the innovative movement in manufacturing, they create higher end jobs. There will be different jobs, and we need to make sure we are ready for those different jobs.”
