Tiered certification is offered for American-produced goods which contain 50%-100% U.S.-made materials
GLENDALE, Ariz., Feb. 11, 2009 — My American Jobs, Inc. announced today they will roll out a standardized manufacturing certification process. My American Jobs, Inc. is designed to provide American manufacturers and consumers an easy way to identify products produced with 50%-100% American materials. The overall purpose of My American Jobs, Inc. is to help overcome the economically damaging behaviors of importing foreign materials and outsourcing American jobs.
My American Jobs, Inc. will partner with manufacturers and various patriotic, consumer, manufacturing, and worker organizations to establish responsible purchasing habits across the United States.
“We wanted to provide a way for consumers to make educated purchasing decisions that help to ensure America’s economic stability as well as the growth and longevity of American jobs. Patriotic purchasing has moved beyond a grassroots-driven show of force to an economic necessity,” said Bryan Aldridge, CEO, My American Jobs, Inc.
The My American Jobs, Inc. certification is a voluntary manufacturing certification process which helps American companies to build market share through patriotic purchasing and manufacturing habits.
My American Jobs, Inc. is developing an Internet network to provide consumers with instant access to certified American products, their manufacturers, and retailers.
“The economic future of the United States lies squarely on the shoulders of American manufacturers, workers, and consumers. When you purchase a foreign-made hammer you employ 20 foreign workers. When you buy a hammer made in America with American made components you employ 20 of your family, friends, neighbors, and fellow countrymen,” Aldridge concluded.
