According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leading2lean.com\/news\/top-line-results-from-2018-manufacturing-index\/\">survey<\/a>, 70% of Americans think the industry is declining, and slightly more than half of Americans believe manufacturing companies are cutting jobs. And while these findings suggest a not-so-optimistic view of the American manufacturing industry, it&#8217;s actually doing better than ever.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2017, the American manufacturing industry had 12.4 million jobs, making it one of the country&#8217;s largest sectors for employment. During this same period, the industry produced a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $2.2 trillion. Furthermore, Leading2Lean projects that the American manufacturing industry will create an additional 3.5 million new jobs within the next 10 years, almost half of which will go unfilled.<\/p>\n<p>Based on these findings, it&#8217;s safe to say that American manufacturing industry is growing faster than what many people believe. The survey found that fewer than one-third of Americans believe the industry is growing. But when you look at the actual data, the results are clear: the American manufacturing sector is growing at a fast rate, and it&#8217;s expected to grow even faster in the years to follow.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking about the new survey, Leading2Lean&#8217;s Keith Barr explained that the American manufacturing industry has evolved, and unfortunately the American workforce is largely unaware of these recent changes. While manufacturing has always been a vital sector of the country&#8217;s economy, it&#8217;s evolved in recent years by introducing new technologies and systems. So, even though the public&#8217;s general perception of the industry is somewhat bleak, American manufacturing is strong and continues to grow larger with each passing month.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>We haven&#8217;t done a good enough job explaining to our potential workforce that manufacturing has evolved,<\/em>&#8221; said Leading2Lean CEO Keith Barr. &#8220;<em>Today&#8217;s manufacturing jobs are dynamic, require the ability to work with technology, and the ability to problem-solve complex issues. Systems have even started making use of gamification concepts, which are increasing motivation and engendering positive behaviors, in particular for Millennials and Generation Z workers. And most importantly, these are high-wage jobs.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A separate survey conducted by Thomas found that 61% of Americans prefer made-in-America products over foreign-manufactured products. As the demand for made-in-American products increases, it will likely have a ripple effect that fosters future growth and expansion of the American manufacturing industry.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a common misconception that the American manufacturing industry is declining. In reality, though, it&#8217;s evolving while growing larger and more significant in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new survey conducted by Leading2Lean has revealed how Americans perceive the country&#8217;s manufacturing industry.
