As I was down a computer over the weekend thanks to the need for maintenance and a new part, I didn't get a chance to talk about last Friday's National Manufacturing Day; a day which coincided with the disappointing news that only 4,000 jobs were added in that sector last month (out of 248,000 total.) An industry insider I often cited when I did my American Certified blog is Scott Paul, president of the union-backed Alliance for American Manufacturing.
