5% increase = 220,000 jobs in America


"Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking,"What's in it for me?"
-- Brian Tracy, Author



An increase of only 5% in "Made in America" materials used by contractors to build homes in the US would produce 220,000 new manufacturing jobs overnight.

The belief is that we don't have manufacturers that can make everything needed to build a home, and if we did, the cost would be much higher.

  • Fact: Cost increase of only 1% in materials.
  • Fact: Better materials increase productivity and quality.
  • Fact: You can get everything you need here in the US.


Have you ever thought about how to build a list of the American manufacturers that could supply your company and others like it?

Watch this short segment from ABC News, it is very interesting.

All the best,
Rick W. Wallace
