Below is a report from the Michigan Economic Deveopment Corporation:
Michigan #1 in USA for creating new
manufacturing jobs
America’s Comeback State leads the country in new
manufacturing job creation at a net gain of 88,100 from December
2009 to March 2013, according to data by the National Association of
Manufacturers. Michigan’s gain, 2.9 times the top 20 states' average, outpaced
that of 2nd-place Texas by more than 50 percent.
“This embodies what Michigan is
all about—we discover and make things better than anyone else,” said Michigan
Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Michael A. Finney. “We have
reinvented our business climate under Governor Snyder with swift and
wide-ranging reforms, and these improvements are driving growth for manufacturers
in diverse sectors like automotive, defense, food processing, furniture,
medical devices and pharmaceuticals.”
Local note: Many new manufacturing jobs have been created in Rogers City as part of the Port Calcite Collaborative initiative. Go Michigan! Go Rogers City!
