Across the country Manufacturers’ record-high optimism reported in the first quarter has carried into the second quarter of this year, marking the highest two-quarter average, of 91.4 percent, for manufacturing optimism in the NAM survey’s 20-year history. In addition, 80 percent of manufacturers say the president’s actions on regulations are headed in the right direction, with more than half of respondents saying those actions will allow them to expand operations, increase investment and add more workers.

NMBC’s work against overzealous EPA rules; issues now moving in the right direction: In 2015, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pushed forward with job killing ozone rules, NMBC was on a national press call and worked with NAM to oppose the rules.
