Manufacturing Industry Snapshot

m

Traditional ideas about manufacturing have changed. More and more, manufacturing jobs are high-tech oriented, and skilled workers face little risk of their jobs being outsourced. Wages in manufacturing are among the highest for all areas of industry.

In the Phoenix area, some manufacturing jobs pay wages 10 to 50 percent above the average wage for other jobs in the region. Manufacturing jobs are also in demand. Many manufacturing employers suffer shortages of skilled workers, and retiring Baby Boomers will only increase employment demand. Computer equipment, aerospace, and electronic instruments are some of the largest manufacturing sectors in Greater Phoenix.
