The latest U.S. jobs report delivered an encouraging signal for the manufacturing sector.
Manufacturing added 16,000 jobs in August, continuing its recent upward trend. Machinery manufacturing and fabricated metal products each added 6,000 jobs, while total manufacturing employment has risen by 58,000 since its recent low in December 2025.*
For manufacturers, engineering teams, and increasingly automated operations, growth creates another challenge: having the right skills in place to support it.
Production. Skilled trades. Engineering. Quality. Automation. Technical operations. Leadership.
