WHY is there a Manufacturing Day?

• Manufacturing is technologically advanced, with ample use of automation, 3-D printing,
robots, and screen technology.
• The annual average salary of manufacturing workers is more than $77,000.
• Manufacturers have the highest job tenure in the private sector.
• 90 percent of manufacturing workers have medical benefits.
