Keeping
American
Jobs
Here
at
Home
Here
in
Michigan,
we
know
how
to
make
things.
From
the
first
Model
T
to
come
off
the
assembly
line
to
the
rocket
parts
that
will
take
us
to
Mars,
manufacturing
is
in
Michigan’s
blood.
And
when
given
a
level
playing
field,
we
know
that
Michigan
and
American
workers
will
make
the
best
product
every
time.
But
too
many
companies
are
boosting
their
bottom
lines
by
shipping
good-paying
jobs
overseas.
And
it’s
hard
to
hold
these
businesses
accountable
when
we
can’t
even
track
where
their
employees
are
located.
That’s
why
I
introduced
the
Outsourcing
Accountability
Act
so
consumers
know
when
companies
are
invested
in
creating
and
retaining
American
jobs.
Consumers
should
be
able
to
spend
their
hard-earned
dollars
elsewhere
if
they
don’t
want
to
subsidize
the
salaries
of
foreign
workers.
My
bill
requires
publicly
traded
companies
to
disclose
their
number
of
employees
by
location,
including
by
state
and
country.
Right
now,
these
companies
only
have
to
report
their
overall
total
number
of
employees,
making
it
difficult
to
accurately
track
the
number
of
jobs
they
are
eliminating
in
America
and
moving
to
foreign
countries.

Outsourcing
Accountability
Act
By
making
this
information
publicly
available,
companies
will
be
incentivized
to
show
they
are
committed
to
American
jobs
-
and
held
accountable
when
they
don’t.
But
this
is
only
one
piece
of
the
puzzle.
We
need
a
comprehensive
strategy
to
advance
our
manufacturing
sector
by
boosting
American
exports,
cracking
down
on
other
countries
that
manipulate
their
currency
and
enforcing
trade
deals
already
on
the
books.
In
the
Senate,
I
will
continue
fighting
to
ensure
Michigan
workers
have
every
opportunity
to
compete
and
succeed.
Thanks
for

Gary
Peters
United
States
Senator
for
Michigan
