Senate Resolution No. 103 acknowledges the significant role that manufacturers play in Texas's economy, highlighting their contributions of over $292 billion, which accounts for 11 percent of the state's gross output. Texas stands as a leading exporter of manufactured goods, with approximately 847,000 individuals employed in the sector, earning an average annual salary of over $123,000. The resolution emphasizes that each manufacturing job creates an additional 7 to 12 jobs, and the industry is responsible for 70 percent of all research and development spending in the state. The diverse range of products manufactured in Texas, including chemicals, electronics, machinery, and more, is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge in the global market.

In recognition of these contributions, the resolution designates February 18, 2025, as Texas Manufacturers' Day at the State Capitol. It expresses appreciation for the vital role that manufacturers play in driving innovation, creating high-paying jobs, and ensuring the economic health of Texas. The resolution extends best wishes for continued success to all individuals and organizations associated with the manufacturing sector in the state.
