Manufacturing Matters

U.S. Manufacturing Sector

Contributes about 12% of gross domestic product (GDP)
Directly employs ~12 million people
Accounts for 60% of U.S. engineering and science jobs
Supplies about 57% of U.S. exports
Produces nearly 20% of the world's manufacturing output

Manufacturing is the most diverse end-use sector —in terms of energy services required, sources of energy used, technologies needed, and product output.
