President Obama is pushing for a renewed focus on manufacturing<\/p><\/div>\n

Recently, the White House has had manufacturing<\/a> on the brain.\u00a0 From the State of the Union <\/a>address to Vice President Joe Biden’s recent visit to Albany Engineered Composites in Rochester<\/a>, the Obama administration has been pushing its plan to create more jobs in the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n
