American Manufacturing and Job Growth

SOURCE www.breitbart.com
Joe Biden claimed to have brought back American manufacturing and added 800,000 new manufacturing jobs, but most of the job gains are from recovering lost jobs during the pandemic, with only a slight increase from pre-2020 levels.

Key Points

  • Manufacturing job gains are mostly a recovery from the pandemic.
  • There has been a slight increase in manufacturing employment compared to pre-2020 levels.

Pros

  • Manufacturing employment has risen since the pandemic lows.

Cons

  • The 800,000 new manufacturing jobs claim is misleading as most are a recovery of lost jobs from the pandemic.
  • Manufacturing employment is only slightly higher than pre-2020 levels.
