with Detroit's mayor and
local business leaders at

called Shinola.
53
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:46,239

you only hire, like,
54

56
00:01:48,675 --> 00:01:50,443

a group of auto workers,
65
00:02:08,695 --> 00:02:11,197
where the President met
with Brianna Leathers,
66
00:02:11,197 --> 00:02:13,533
who wrote a letter to
the President in 2009,
67
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:15,668
worried about whether her
father's manufacturing
68
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:18,738
business would survive
the Great Recession.
69
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:19,839

more than 640,000 jobs,
71
00:02:24,043 --> 00:02:26,246
benefitting Michigan
families like Brianna's.
72
00:02:26,246 --> 00:02:28,348
