Proclamation 11071 of October 2, 2026

National Manufacturing Day, 2026

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

For 250 years, American workers have been the driving
force behind our Nation's strength, prosperity, and
industrial might. Their skill, ingenuity, and
determination have fueled our economy and carried
American manufacturing to new heights. On National
Manufacturing Day, we honor the men and women who make,
build, and create in America--and we celebrate the
extraordinary comeback of American manufacturing.

As President, my highest priority has been putting
America First by restoring our Nation's manufacturing
and bringing back good-paying American jobs. I have
imposed powerful tariffs to protect American workers
and businesses from unfair trade practices, and as a
result, we are seeing the greatest reshoring of
American manufacturing in our Nation's history,
alongside a surge in demand for products Made in
America. Since I returned to office, I have secured
more than $11.2 trillion in United States and foreign
investments across manufacturing, critical
infrastructure, and technology sectors. Groundbreakings
of new factories are surging with 112,000 new factory
construction workers building since I returned to
office. The factory construction jobs of today mean
more good-paying manufacturing jobs for decades to
come. These investments fuel job growth, innovation,
and opportunity across every corner of our country.

I was also proud to sign the Working Families Tax Cuts
Act into law--landmark legislation that makes the Small
Business Tax Deduction permanent and allows American
manufacturers to immediately expense 100 percent of
their factory, machinery, equipment, and domestic
research and development investments. At the same time,
this historic law is putting more money back into the
pockets of hardworking Americans and increasing take-
home pay, including new provisions like No Tax on
Overtime. After declining by nearly $850 under the
previous administration, the real wage for the average
manufacturing worker has surged by $2,500 annually
since I took office. These efforts are driving a
revival of American manufacturing and making our
country the best place in the world to build, produce,
and invest.

After years of failed policies that hollowed out our
industrial base and left American workers behind,
manufacturing is once again powering America's economic
resurgence. After years of decline, manufacturing
employment is rising once again with 72,000 new
manufacturing jobs added in 2026 so far. Today, we
honor the generations of Americans who have built our
country through their hard work, and we look proudly to
the next generation, who will carry on our great
tradition of American innovation and enterprise.
Together, we will make American manufacturing bigger,
better, and stronger than ever before.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim October 2, 2026, as
National Manufacturing Day. I call upon all Americans
to celebrate the entrepreneurs, innovators, and workers
in manufacturing who are making our communities strong.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
second day of October, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fifty-
first.
