young people to look at the manufacturing sector for
opportunity, professional growth and family-sustaining jobs;
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate designate October 3, 2025, as
"Manufacturing Day" in Pennsylvania; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Senate, in conjunction with national and
State efforts, recognize the overwhelming economic contributions
manufacturing makes in our Commonwealth and the ongoing
potential it has in continuing to grow the workforce of
tomorrow.
