Manufacturing has been the backbone of the U.S. economy for more than a century. Whether the emphasis is on durable goods or biotech/life sciences, our ability to make things continues to drive local markets. In fact, every dollar in final sales of manufactured products supports $1.34 in output from other sectors—this is the largest multiplier of any sector.
