Conference kicks off initiative to revitalize manufacturing workforce
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A conference in Pittsburgh urged policies and strategies that will boost the country's
workforce.
"Manufacturing  a Better Paying Pennsylvania," held Tuesday at United Steelworkers
 International's headquarters, drew union leaders, progressive think-tank  analysts,
politicians and others to launch a national initiative to  create high-paying manufacturing
jobs and transform the regional and  national economy.
"We  can do better, and this conference will kick off a sustained effort,"  said
 Mark Zuckerman, president of The Century Foundation.
The "High Wage America Project" is a research and policy program led by The Century
Foundation's Bernard L. Schwartz Rediscovering Government Initiative. It will focus
on how to bring high wage work back to America's heartland, through revitalizing
 manufacturing; positioning America as a global leader in technological innovation;
expanding apprenticeship, career, and technical education opportunities; and targeted
investments to create high-quality, high-paying jobs.
"We have an opening, an opening to talk about industrial policy again," said Tom
 Croft, president of Swissvale-based Steel Valley Authority.
