Chances are you’ve never thought about manufacturing as a career. Maybe you’ve even heard that the manufacturing industry is disappearing, with all of the jobs being sent to China and other foreign countries.
In fact, manufacturing is growing faster than the economy as a whole. More than 14 million Americans now work in manufacturing. The average wage for workers is around $50,000 a year.
