Manufacturing & Distribution
More than 12.3 million people work in Manufacturing and Distribution in the U.S., or about 9% of the U.S. workforce. Few can argue the importance of manufacturing and distribution when it comes to the overall health of the U.S. economy. The Bureau of Economic Analysis put the value of manufacturing in total annual GDP at $2.17 trillion, or 11.9% of the total U.S. GDP.About 77% of high growth manufacturers are planning capital investments in equipment in 2017. Similarly, 46% expect to invest in plant expansion or modernization to meet demands of rapid growth. All manufacturers plan investments in software, and the third highest area of capital expenditure investment for high growth manufacturers is computer hardware.These investments indicate a growing need for advanced professional skill sets for both long-term and short-term projects.
