Hill Day is an annual event for Manufacturing Extension Programs (MEP's) to meet with their respective congressional members on the importance of manufacturing to the US economy. This year, New Jersey's manufacturing presence will be bigger than ever as NJMEP's clients join the effort.  In New Jersey, there are approximately 245,600 people employed in the manufacturing sector, a total manufacturing output of $44.52 billion and more than 15,000 manufacturing and STEM Firms.

"Manufacturing is directly in the middle of so many major policy debates, and that's why our visit to Washington is so important," said John W. Kennedy, CEO of NJMEP.  "NJMEP is looking to partner with our Legislators to find solutions that ensure Manufacturing Extension Partnerships (MEP's) continue to help sustain and grow the manufacturing sector.  We need their help to create a better business environment to improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector, which provides some of the highest paying jobs in New Jersey," continues Kennedy.
