Manufacturers in the United States need to fill 4 million jobs by 2030 according to a workforce study by The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte. A Sept. 26 New York Times article, “Factory Jobs Are Booming Like It’s the 1970s,” noted that an increase in the number of jobs added by American manufacturers well over and beyond the number of jobs they shed during the pandemic recession.
Nationally October is recognized as Manufacturing Month with the first Friday of October known as MFG (Manufacturing) Day, manufacturing’s “biggest annual opportunity to inspire the next generation to start careers in modern manufacturing.”
