Why Restoring the Value of Work is Essential to Growing Our Economy

For an increasing number of Ohioans and working people across the country, it seems impossible to get ahead. They feel as though no matter how long and hard they work, they still struggle to make ends meet.  

Sherrod Brown, U.S. Senator for Ohio, presents a comprehensive agenda of solutions to restore the value of work for all Americans, no matter their income level. Since 2007, Brown has been a champion for middle-class families, and has been described as “Congress’ leading proponent of manufacturing.” He’s been working with the Obama administration on the creation of a national manufacturing policy that would invest in manufacturing innovation and connect workers with emerging industries. Brown also works with Ohio’s universities, entrepreneurs, and community stakeholders to create jobs in high-growth industries, while also making sure that Ohioans receive the education and training they need for these 21 st century careers.
