According to the U.S. Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration…

"Manufacturing remains the most powerful engine of economic growth and drives the
technology boom." (U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis)

"Between 2002 and 2012, pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing employment is expected
to increase by 68,000 jobs, plastics and rubber products manufacturing by 138,000 jobs,
machinery manufacturing by 120,000 jobs, and a 97,000 projected job growth for fabricated
metal product manufacturing." (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)
