Manufacturing in North America - Commentary and Links
Manufacturing has long been the engine for healthy economic growth and good jobs in North America, but intense global competition, artificially created competitive advantages and the rising cost of doing business in the U.S. threaten our manufacturing base and future living standards. These are the findings of a new study commissioned by the Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA) and the NAM. The study was written by Joel Popkin ‘Securing America’s Future: The Case for a Strong Manufacturing Base’. For information on this study and other items of interest to service centers and their customers, see below.
