U.S. manufacturing is a growth business; and so robust that one of the biggest challenges for employers is finding enough people to fill these good jobs.

Help Wanted, and Lots of It, on the Modern Factory Floor

As the U.S. economy continues its long recovery from the Great Recession, one bright spot has been a sector that, to listen to the cynics, you might think had packed up and fled the country. I'm talking about manufacturing. The truth is, U.S. manufacturing is a growth business. Since the end of the recession in 2009, manufacturing employment in this country has risen by nearly 1.3 million workers, to a total of more than 12.7 million jobs. And a quarter-million of those manufacturing jobs were added in the last 12 months alone, according to the latest government employment report.

"A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding..."

Full Speed Ahead: Manufacturing Continues to Grow

Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded again in August, say the nation's supply executives in the latest Manufacturing ISM Report On Business. The August PMI registered 61.3 percent, an increase of 3.2 percentage points from the July reading of 58.1 percent. PMI is an indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector; it's based on five major indicators: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier deliveries and the employment environment. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting.

Since its inception, Waupaca Foundry employee Dave Hintz and his Hides For Heroes volunteers have collected deer hides and raised more than $40,000 in support of veterans through the Wounded Warriors In Action Foundation.

Local hunters support veterans

Area deer hunters helped raise $7,533 for a nonprofit organization that takes Purple Heart recipients hunting and fishing. Hides for Heroes raised the funds for the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation. The foundation is a national nonprofit that provides outdoor sporting activities for Purple Heart recipients who were wounded in combat. Hides for Heroes involves collecting deer hides, salting them and then selling the hides when the market is right.

A trade war could turn into a scrap yard fight in Detroit. China is the largest consumer of scrap commodities. And Michigan is a major exporter.

Trade war hits scrap yards in Michigan in ways you wouldn't expect

It's hard to imagine that a trade war could turn into a scrap yard fight in Detroit. Yet China is the largest consumer of scrap commodities. And Michigan is a major exporter, generating multimillions of dollars in business when it comes to recycling metals. So when China slapped retaliatory tariffs on aluminum waste and scrap in April, recycling operations, including two deeply-rooted, family-owned businesses in Michigan, found themselves on the front lines of the trade war.

Tyler is a Pennsylvania native and will graduate from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in December 2018 with a degree in safety management.
