It has been very difficult, actually, to stimulate competition.
The small to medium-sized enterprises in this country, which represent a large majority of the manufacturing facilities, are having a really difficult time. As my colleague indicated, just the issues in regard to financing are very difficult. It is very difficult for them to capitalize their business or to take advantage of the opportunity for efficiencies through automation. It's been a challenge.
Larger manufacturers are working very hard to try to streamline and make investments. Unfortunately, what's happening is that a lot of the manufacturing capacity, even of the global players, is transitioning to the United States. In this country we're starting to see plants close.
We, as an industry, represent 350,000 workers. I think that number will decrease quite significantly over the next few years.
