Does Manufacturing Matter?
Yes! Manufacturing stimulates the economy at a greater pace than other industries. Every $1M in final sales supports eight jobs in the manufacturing sector and an additional six jobs in other sectors. In a National Association of Manufacturer's survey of the U.S., 80% of manufacturing employers have a hard time finding qualified employees. |
