President Barack Obama last night announced plans to create six high-tech manufacturing hubs in the US, as part of his administrations push to spur domestic job growth. In pushing for more domestic high-tech manufacturing, Obama echoed last years State of the Union speech, in which he lauded his administrations efforts to create a 3D printing lab and training center in Youngstown, Ohio. Earlier this month, he announced a second manufacturing institute in Raleigh, North Carolina, which will develop more energy-efficient semiconductor technologies for cars and consumer electronics. We… have the chance, right now, to beat other countries in the race for the next wave of high-tech manufacturing jobs, Obama said Tuesday.
