Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act: Manufacturing Impacts
On Friday, March 27, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (also known as the CARES Act), a $2 trillion stimulus package intended to help mitigate the economic devastation caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The stimulus is good news for manufacturers, many of whom are struggling given the current economic circumstances and stand to benefit financially from the package.
