Description

The health of the U.S. manufacturing sector has long been of great concern to Congress, particularly the decline in manufacturing employment since the start of the 21st century. Members have introduced hundreds of bills intended to support domestic manufacturing activity in various ways. The proponents of such measures frequently contend that the U.S. is by various measures falling behind other countries in manufacturing, and they argue that this relative decline can be mitigated or reversed by government policy. This report is designed to inform the debate over the health of U.S. manufacturing through a series of charts and tables that depict the position of the U.S. relative to other countries according to various metrics. Contents: Introduction; How the U.S. Manufacturing Sector Ranks; The Role of Services in Manufacturing; Manufacturing Work; Technology and Research in Manufacturing. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
