I work as a machinist, and the company I work for makes a lot of parts for the military. Since the election this company has bought 2 new incredibly large CNC milling machines and the tooling needed for a new $30 million Govt. contract. They have also hired 4 new people in the last week to get this machinery up and running and to operate equipment once it is running.
This company has also purchased 2 new CNC lathes since Trump took office, to manufacture other parts needed for this project......this means overtime for me and all the others who work with me, and others will be hired for the deburring, assembly, shipping, and all the other jobs involved in completing this project.
This one project does not include the many other projects they have bid on since Trump announced he would be ramping up military spending, so while I can't comment on all the other jobs in this country MFG. jobs in New Hampshire seem to be on the uptick, and for me and my life after all these years of MFG. going downhill and good paying jobs, or any mfg. jobs, hard to find, being able to look around and see several jobs available in local machine shops at competitive pay scales with good benefits......is a good sign.
So at this point, looking at the local landscape, Trump is having positive effects in my world, and I can say that my small portion of America is on the upswing........I won't say "GREAT AGAIN", but ask me again in a few months and I might
and as far as I'm concerned America IS the greatest country in the world.......Just in case anyone was misinterpreting my statements.......
