Manufacturing Mojo

While the number of manufacturing jobs in the US is rising, it’s primarily in sectors where plant is expensive, labor cost/item is low, and energy and transportation costs are high such as autos, chemicals, energy and refineries. However, where labor is a high percentage of total cost and energy and shipping costs per item are low, such as in garment, shoe and toy manufacturing, no job renaissance will occur.
