Changing the Image of Manufacturing

Manufacturing Day addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is — and what it isn’t.

By working together during and after MFG DAY, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.

According to MFG DAY:

– The average tenure of workers in the manufacturing industry is highest among all private sector industries at 9.1 years.

– Modern manufacturing also has one of the lowest employee turnover rates among all private-sector jobs at 2.3 percent.

– The average manufacturing worker in the U.S. earns almost $20,000 more than the average employee working in other industries.
