2018 outlook on manufacturing
This year should be an exciting one for manufacturers. First, we must recognize the long-term trend where large corporations' productivity gains have been outstripping mid and small-size manufacturing companies (500 employees and less). This year we expect those large manufacturers to continue celebrating those productivity gains.
