Mike Rowe has been making numerous trips to Washington D.C. to encourage members of Congress to put more effort in creating jobs here in the U.S., particularly trade jobs. Mike has received a warm invitation from Senator John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to return to Washington to talk about the matter.

According to a press release put out by the senator’s office, this will be the “second in a series of Commerce Committee hearings focusing on manufacturing in America and the ways in which the government and industry can strengthen the sector and promote job growth.”

The full committee meeting is set for Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 2:30pm EST.

I’m not certain if this meeting will be televised, but if it is, your best bet would be to watch one of the CSPAN channels.
