Understanding the Economy: Promising Signs of Recovery in Manufacturing
The U.S. manufacturing sector has been showing an exceptional rebound from the recession, spurring economic growth.
U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (8/26/2010)

While manufacturers have created 136,000 jobs since December 2009, the tenuous expansion needs policies to ensure continued success, Congress’s Joint Economic Committee reports.

Manufacturing’s recovery is critical for the country’s global competitiveness. It’s a source of well-paying jobs that can spur growth in other parts of the economy. Increasing exports will help balance the current trade deficit, which some economists say contributed to the recession.
