                Proclamation 9516 of October 6, 2016

                
National Manufacturing Day, 2016

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Since our earliest days, innovation has been one of the 
                most important driving forces of the American economy, 
                and for generations, our manufacturing industry was the 
                ticket to a good middle-class life. Over time, 
                developing technology has changed the way we approach 
                manufacturing. American manufacturing lost roughly one-
                third of its jobs in the first decade of the new 
                century--during the global recession--and the middle 
                class paid the price. Despite that, in recent years, 
                through the determination of our resilient workforce, 
                our economy and our manufacturing industry have been on 
                the rise. Since 2010, we have added more than 800,000 
                manufacturing jobs and witnessed the fastest pace of 
                manufacturing job growth since the 1990s--and today, 
                factories are opening doors more quickly than at any 
                time in the past 20 years. On National Manufacturing 
                Day, we celebrate American manufacturing and recognize 
                our potential to remain competitive by continuing to 
                strengthen research, development, and our manufacturing 
                sector.

                To build on this progress, we must keep America on the 
                cutting edge of innovation and attract more high-
                quality manufacturing jobs for workers to fill in the 
                21st-century economy. We have worked to grow the jobs 
                of tomorrow through Manufacturing USA, a national 
                network of manufacturing hubs that bring businesses, 
                research universities, and governments together to co-
                invest in the development of world-leading 
                manufacturing technologies and capabilities. These 
                manufacturing hubs not only enable some of the best 
                minds in America to work together, but they also create 
                a home for specific technology focus areas in 
                manufacturing that attract people from around the 
                world. Government can and should play a role in 
                catalyzing this progress, which is why my 
                Administration has already announced nine manufacturing 
                hubs, with even more planned in the future. By 
                supporting this network of global leadership in 
                manufacturing, we are ensuring a steady stream of good 
                jobs and pursuing the potential to fundamentally change 
                the way we build things in America. I encourage 
                everyone to visit www.Manufacturing.gov to learn more 
                about the ways we have highlighted these partnerships 
                to increase our competitiveness and advance our 
                national manufacturing infrastructure.

                The growing maker movement has played a role in 
                encouraging manufacturing. Through our Nation of Makers 
                initiative, we have worked to give students, 
                entrepreneurs, and all Americans access to new 
                technologies so they can design and build anything they 
                can dream of. The democratization of tools required to 
                create products has been critical for supporting 
                entrepreneurship and has led to a renaissance of 
                American manufacturing--and we must continue to foster 
                the culture of making and entrepreneurship. Our 
                economic competitiveness in domestic manufacturing 
                depends on critical investments in science, technology, 
                engineering, and math (STEM) education. If we make the 
                necessary investments to help students and young people 
                experience hands-on STEM learning, we can spark a deep 
                interest and help them develop the passion and 
                creativity they need to excel in the 21st-century 
                economy.

                Each year, hundreds of thousands of people observe this 
                day by attending open houses, public tours, and career 
                workshops. As we mark 5 years since the first National 
                Manufacturing Day, we must inspire the next generation 
                of workers and innovators to seek careers in 
                manufacturing. Let us continue working to strengthen 
                and expand the manufacturing jobs of tomorrow and 
                ensure that opportunity for all is something we can 
                keep making in America for generations to come.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim October 7, 2016, as 
                National Manufacturing Day. I call upon the people of 
                the United States to observe this day with programs and 
                activities that highlight the contributions of American 
                manufacturers, and I encourage all Americans to visit a 
                manufacturer in their local community.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand sixteen, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and forty-first.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
