Chemical manufacturing plays a vital role in supporting national priorities and the U.S. economy – directly employing over a half a million skilled jobs and supporting four million more jobs. Our future depends on chemistry: the global demand for chemistry is expected to rise 30% over the next decade. The U.S. is currently the second largest chemical producing country. Over the next decade, China is expected to increase its chemical production capacity by more than one third while the U.S.' capacity by only 10%. On top of this widening chemical gap, a surge of regulatory restrictions and a lack of coordination between the White House and federal agencies have made it harder for manufacturers to produce chemicals here at home. To not fall further behind, policymakers must adopt pro-growth policies that support American chemistry and bolsters the U.S.' competitive edge - not sending it overseas. When chemistry creates, America competes. Learn more in this sponsored article in The Hill. #ChemistryCreates https://ow.ly/yaNp50TlW7G
