CERRITOS, Calif. – June 8, 2017 – Following six straight months of consistent gains in the number of manufacturing jobs in the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported significant growth within the industrial machinery and fabricated metal products categories.

According to a newly released economic report from the leading national trade association for US-based manufacturers, the National Association of Manufacturing, industry leaders have reported sustained optimism and employment growth, as well as a significant uptick in new orders for their products and speedier acquisition of new customers. In April and May 2017, manufacturing exports from the U.S. also increased 3.4 percent compared to the same time period in 2016, according to the report.

“We have seen higher expectations for job growth of late in light of a stronger outlook for demand and production,” NAM leadership said in a statement released Monday. “Encouragingly, manufacturing exports have trended in the right direction in the early months of this year – a welcome development after weaker data in each of the past two years.”

It’s more than just the number of manufacturing jobs that are growing. Demand for U.S. manufactured goods has also increased.  Thirty-two percent of manufacturing businesses surveyed in the most recent Dallas Federal Reserve Bank reported an increase in new orders, and faster growth rates for those same new orders.

NAM said this indicates significant progress and gains, likely resulting from an increase in “business confidence, better energy commodity prices, improvements in the global economy and a post-election boost in optimism.”
