Manufacturing has a high job multiplier effect.
As noted by a report from the Milken Institute: “For every job created in manufacturing, 2.5 jobs are created in other sectors.” For science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related manufacturing, the job multiplier effect increases. For example, 16 other jobs are generated from one electronic computer manufacturing job. Workforce training in manufacturing technologies includes training for careers that do not yet exist or are only emerging.
