Learn more about how a career in manufacturing can offer life long success.
Manufacturing is often underestimated and misunderstood. When many people think about manufacturing jobs, they envision assembly-line work in a dark factory with low pay. When in fact, today’s manufacturing is modern and sophisticated, the facilities are well-lit and use high-tech processes, and career opportunities are expansive and well-paying!
There are a number of reasons to consider building a career in manufacturing. Let’s begin by debunking two common myths:
Myth #1: Manufacturing jobs are low-paying.
According to the U.S Commerce Department, manufacturing workers earn 17% more in wages and benefits over their careers. The average annual salary is more than you might think; according to the National Association of Manufacturers, the average worker earned $88,406 annually on average, including pay and benefits.
Myth #2: There aren’t many opportunities in manufacturing.
A number of manufacturing positions are high in demand, including: engineering managers, welders, sales people, production managers, and machinists. What’s more, the talent shortage is expected to increase. With the average age of manufacturing workers at 57, many will be retiring over the next 10 years. Yet, statistics show that there’s not a workforce ready to replace them.
A simple way to get connected to job opportunities in manufacturing is to partner with a staffing agency. If you would like to see what manufacturing has to offer you, we encourage you to reach out.
