Leadership Wanted: The Public’s View of the Manufacturing Industry Today2012 annual index |
|
The U.S. economic recovery and job creation continue to be important concerns for many Americans, particularly in light of the 2012 elections. The American public continues to show very strong support for manufacturing and a deep understanding of the economic benefits that result from a vibrant manufacturing sector. Yet, Americans continue to have mixed views regarding the future of manufacturing in the United States.

Interestingly, Americans’ support of manufacturing and their views regarding career stability have not changed over the last four years. Americans have consistently and resoundingly voiced their opinions relative to the importance of manufacturing, and consistently expressed strong support for a wide range of actions to ensure a position of strength for the U.S. manufacturing sector. This is good news for both policy makers and business leaders. It suggests that despite the frequent swings of public opinion on a wide range of topics, Americans remain steadfast in their commitment to creating a strong, healthy, globally competitive manufacturing sector in the United States, no matter the prevailing economic winds.
We created this annual research program to provide a running view of the U.S. public’s perspectives on manufacturing to supplement the many other research reports and perspectives of economists, policymakers, business leaders and other stakeholders that have important points of view relevant to this discussion.
