Forward Slash/manufacturing
Manufacturing is often seen as a holy grail industry that provides long-term high paying jobs, imbues a country with a sense of pride (even if misplaced) and reassures the public that we are going to be self-sufficient in a crisis.
But manufacturing as a share of GDP has been in decline since the 1960s and despite report after report, we never really see a resurgence.
Can we pull it off this time? And what will it take to do it?
