商务部长彭妮•普利茨克（Penny Pritzker）在6月19日的一篇报刊评论中说，正在有越来越多的公司选择到美国发展业务。6月初，A.T. 肯尼迪（A.T. Kearney）的外商直接投资信心指数（Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index）将美国连续第二年评为最佳投资目的地。
普利茨克说，生产的成功不仅是要把握成本，更重要的是要找到恰当的竞争优势——“而这是美国最出色的地方”。
她说：“我们拥有最有技能和生产力最强的劳动力，而且我们正在把发展有高需求的技术作为重点。“

普利茨克说，美国是全世界最富创新力的地方，全球三分之一以上的研发投资是投到美国，在全球25所顶尖研究大学中美国有15所。美国的专利产品占世界的将近30%，而且美国政府大力保护知识产权。美国的先进技术——包括机器人技术和三维打印——使制造商能够大幅缩短产品投入市场的时间，并且制造出更好、更符合消费者个人要求的产品。
普利茨克说，在美国设有生产基地的公司可以迅速享有3.17亿美国消费者——还可以通过自由贸易协定再达到大约4.25亿，而且据世界银行（World Bank）调查，美国有着全世界最快捷的出口清关手续。
普利茨克说，美国政府随时准备为来美国的企业提供帮助，因为用欧巴马总统的话说，“你在美国下注，肯定会赢。”

Skilled Workforce, Advanced Technology Draw Companies to U.S.

More and more companies are choosing to establish operations in the United States, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said in a June 19 newspaper commentary. Earlier in June, A.T. Kearney’s annual Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index ranked the United States the top investment destination for the second year in a row.
More than just managing costs, Pritzker said, successful manufacturing is about finding the right competitive advantages — “and that’s where the United States really shines.”
“We have one of the most skilled and productive workforces, and we’re making it a priority to build the skills that are in high demand,” she said.

The United States is the most innovative place in the world, Pritzker said, home to more than a third of global research and development investment, as well as 15 of the top 25 research universities. It produces nearly 30 percent of all patents worldwide, and its government works hard to protect intellectual property rights. Advanced technology in the United States — including robotics and 3-D printing — enables manufacturers to drastically cut time to market and make better, more customized products.
Companies with a manufacturing base in the United States can rapidly reach more than 317 million U.S. consumers — and some 425 million more through free-trade agreements and the most rapid export clearances of all countries surveyed by the World Bank, she said.
The U.S. government stands ready to help businesses choose the United States, she said, because, to quote President Obama, “When you bet on America, that bet pays off.”
