Manufacturing Matters
U.S. Manufacturing Sector
- Contributes about 12% of gross domestic product (GDP)
- Directly employs ~12 million people
- Accounts for 60% of U.S. engineering and science jobs
- Supplies about 57% of U.S. exports
- Produces nearly 20% of the world's manufacturing output
Manufacturing is the most diverse end-use sector —in terms of energy services required, sources of energy used, technologies needed, and product output.
