Working for America

The 2.4 Million Person Team Committed to U.S. Aerospace Leadership

Employing nearly 2.4 million workers, the U.S. aerospace and defense sector is the economic power house for our country and an important leader in the innovation, research and technologically that shapes our everyday lives. For over 100 years, aerospace workers at large and small businesses across the country have revolutionized how we travel around the globe, defend our country and explore our galaxy.

As more countries seek to develop their aerospace industries, the U.S. must maintain its focus and lead in the next century of aerospace innovation. This is why the Watch U.S. Fly community advocates for policies and investments that grow and strengthen this important sector and the millions of American workers it employs.

Stay tuned to Watch U.S. Fly to learn about the policies that will protect and strengthen America’s aerospace workers.

The U.S. Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank plays a critical role in leveling the playing field so American manufactures and small businesses can compete and win against foreign-based competitor businesses. Ex-Im provides financing solutions to foreign customers so that it’s easier for them to buy American-made goods.

For the past several years, U.S. manufacturers have been held back without a fully functional Ex-Im Bank. Thankfully, Congress has reauthorized the Ex-Im Bank for a historic seven years in 2019.

We must continue to fully fund and fully staff the Ex-Im Bank, otherwise American workers will suffer. Foreign competitors have already taken notice. China’s four export credit agencies (similar to Ex-Im) invested more in just 2014-2015 than the entire 85 year history of our U.S. Ex-Im Bank.

Manufacturing goods here in the U.S. and selling them abroad strengthens our country’s economy and provides high-paying, high-skilled jobs for American workers. Watch U.S. Fly supports policies that level the playing field for American workers who are competing with unfairly subsidized foreign companies.

We need the U.S. Export-Import Bank so American workers can compete on a level playing field.
