In addition, \u201cFor every\n$1.00 spent in manufacturing, another $2.74 is added to the economy. That is the\nhighest multiplier effect of any economic sector. In addition, for every one\nworker in manufacturing, there are another five employees hired elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. lost 5.8 million jobs in manufacturing from\nthe year 2000 to 2010 due to a combination of factors, such as the offshoring\nof jobs to Asia, especially to China, increased productivity of American\nworkers, automation, and robots, as well as the domestic outsourcing of service jobs within a manufacturing company,\nsuch as accounting and payroll services, janitorial services, cafeteria\/food\nservices, and legal departments. Thus, jobs that may have been classified as\nmanufacturing are now classified as service jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The below chart shows that the U. S. has regained\nabout 1.5 million jobs since the end of the recession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n American workers achieve a high productivity rate year\nin and year out, and the growing trend of training in \u201cLean manufacturing\u201d has accelerated the increase in\nthe productivity of American workers <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2019, the ten states with the largest manufacturing\nworkforces were: California, Texas, Ohio,\nMichigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin, South Carolina, and New\nYork. California\u2019s manufacturing workforce of more than 1.2 million exceeds Illinois\nand Pennsylvania\u2019s combined manufacturing workforce <\/p>\n\n\n\n A blog article<\/a> by Alex Carrick of\nJanuary 14, 2019 on the website www.constructconnect.com<\/a>, states: \u201cThe five major contributors to U.S.\nmanufacturing employment are: transportation\nequipment, a 13.2% share; food manufacturing, 12.9%; fabricated metal products,\n11.7%; machinery, 8.9%; and computer and electronic products, 8.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Michigan (with an 11.4% share) leads all states in number of transportation\nequipment jobs. It\u2019s followed by Indiana (8.2%). California and Ohio (each with\n7.3% shares) are tied for third. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By a wide margin, California is out front among states in number of food\nmanufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n California and Texas provide the most \u2018fabricated metal product\u2019 jobs; Ohio\nis in third spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Texas, which is big in oil and gas drilling equipment, is the nation\u2019s\nleader in machinery manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than a quarter of U.S. \u2018computer and electronic products\u2019 manufacturing\njobs are in California. Second-place Texas has only about one-third of\nCalifornia\u2019s contingent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sooner we reopen all manufacturing, instead of just allowing\nmanufacturers in critical industries to remain open, the sooner we will get\nmillions of manufacturing workers off the unemployment roles and back to\nproducing the goods we need to remain a strong industrial nation, while\nprotecting the health and national security of all Americans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week\u2019s article begins a series of short articles on why manufacturing is important to the America economy.
