Manufacturing can’t afford to be a man’s world
Women make up around 47% of the U.S. labor force, nearly 74 million people and counting. But the percentage of manufacturing roles filled by female workers is only 29%. In a sector not only flourishing but facing a potential shortfall of workers, why do women remain so vastly underrepresented?
Advanced manufacturing is a key economic driver for northeast Ohio
Advanced manufacturing is a significant driver of the northeast Ohio economy and has been a key factor in the region's recovery from the recessions of the early 2000s and 2008. However, growth in employment in the sector has fallen behind increases in gross regional product, and efforts to address this challenge will require an increase in the area's skilled workforce.
