Manufacturing in America
Manufacturing plays a major role in our economy, with almost
300,000 establishments and more than 11 million employees producing goods that we consume domestically or export abroad. In recognition of the third annual Manufacturing Day celebrated October 3rd, the Census Bureau joins a group of public and private organizations in celebrating the importance of the manufacturing sector to the nation's economy. The nation relies on several key Census Bureau programs to track America's manufacturing industries, and the most recent year's data from some of these programs are highlighted below.
Data Blast is an e-newsletter prepared and distributed by the
Census Information Center of
Eastern Oklahoma, a program of the
Community Service Council of
Greater Tulsa, and supported by the
Metropolitan Human Services
Commission.
Data Blast is intended to inform and educate people in eastern
Oklahoma about population, economic, educational, health and social trends in our local communities as well as in our state and nation.
