Is the Manufacturing Resurgence Here to Stay?

In this brief Garner Economics president Jay Garner examines recent trends in manufacturing employment among 333 of the nation's 372 metro areas. 

 

In spite of this gloomy outlook, the U.S. actually added about 600,000 manufacturing jobs over the four year period between April 2010 and April 2014.The news has been largely positive for the nation's Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) as well: among the 333 MSAs with available data, the manufacturing sector added 428,000 jobs during the same four-year period, representing 70 percent of the total national increase in manufacturing employment.
