Effort will cut $100B in regulation, expand access to capital and create dedicated infrastructure to support blue-collar boom.
WASHINGTON — [On March 10, 2025], U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced the agency’s new Made in America Manufacturing Initiative to restore American economic dominance and national security by empowering small manufacturers. The agency’s effort will support President Trump’s agenda to create good-paying jobs, secure our supply chains, promote fair trade, and bring back the blue-collar boom of his first Administration.
About 99% of American manufacturers are small businesses, who are already experiencing a resurgence under the President’s pro-growth agenda. The country gained 10,000 manufacturing jobs during his first full month in office — a swift turnaround after losing an average of 9,000 manufacturing jobs per month in the final year of the previous Administration.
“The great American comeback starts with restoring American industry,” SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said. “With the Made in America Manufacturing Initiative, we’re slashing red tape, expanding access to capital, and fueling a manufacturing resurgence that will create high-paying jobs and revitalize communities across the country. By prioritizing American-made products, we’re not just securing our economic dominance — we’re protecting our national security by ensuring the essential goods we rely on are produced right here at home. SBA’s initiative promises every hardworking American and small business owner that we’re putting American jobs and strength first.”
