Virginia Foxx Highlights Manufacturing Growth and Educational Opportunities in North Carolina
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx has reported significant growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector, attributing this boom to policies implemented by President Trump and Republican majorities in Congress. According to the Institute for Supply Management, July marked the seventh consecutive month of growth in the manufacturing sector, with the strongest rate of growth in over four years. The Federal Reserve has noted increases in manufacturing activity, payrolls, and wages, with a 4.2% year-over-year wage growth. Foxx credits the Working Families Tax Cuts Act for creating six million jobs, safeguarding $540 billion in wages, and preserving $1.1 trillion in economic activity. Additionally, a new report from the American Federation for Children reveals that approximately 1.7 million children in North Carolina are eligible for scholarships under a new federal school choice tax credit, benefiting 93% of the state's K-12 population.
