October kicked off Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) and Month. MFG Day is an initiative of the National Association of Manufacturers and the Manufacturing Institute that engages policy makers, manufacturing companies, businesses, parents, teachers and students of all ages to highlight the realities of modern manufacturing careers. Walmart continues to be a proud sponsor of, and participant in, the Manufacturing Institute’s MFG DAY and Creators Wanted campaigns as well as the presenting sponsor of the MI’s Government Official toolkit. In addition to being a leading authority on manufacturing industry research, issues and trends, the Manufacturing Institute’s MFG Day and Creators Wanted campaigns are accessible platforms to tell stories about the exciting opportunities modern manufacturing careers provide and raise awareness around one of the most pressing issues facing the industry today: workforce pipeline.
This is an opportunity to tell the real stories of Americans whose lives have been impacted by Walmart’s investment in American manufacturing and demonstrate how manufacturing drives:
Job creation, economic growth and upward mobility, and local community impact.

Walmart has been helping to connect consumers to the stories behind the products they buy on our shelves and the jobs and local economies those products support. Our Manufacturing Month 2022 efforts will spotlight the people that dream up the products on Walmart shelves across the country – our suppliers.
