Made in America Week honors the achievements of American manufacturing, recognizing the vital role of businesses and workers in strengthening the national economy and industrial base, according to a presidential proclamation.
The proclamation notes that prior trade policies weakened industrial capacity and led to job losses by favoring cheaper foreign labor. The current administration seeks to restore U.S. manufacturing through reshoring efforts, which have attracted trillions in investment and created over 900,000 jobs.
Earlier in 2026, an Executive Order was signed to require accurate "Made in the U.S.A." product labeling, with federal agencies directed to prioritize purchasing American-made goods to support domestic workers.
Legislation, including the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, made permanent a 20 percent Small Business Tax Deduction to drive economic growth and create more than one million jobs. Additional policies such as 100 percent expensing for new factories and equipment, along with regulatory reductions, have contributed to manufacturing job gains.
By the end of the first quarter of 2026, American manufacturing saw job growth for the first time in three years, signaling a possible turnaround as the country recommits to its industrial foundation.
