Myths & Reality
Where the opportunities are
TRUE OR FALSE Quiz Yourself
• Manufacturing is on the decline
• Most manufacturing jobs are low-skilled jobs
• A manufacturing job will no longer provide a ‘middle class’ lifestyle
• Most positions in manufacturing are jobs which involve ‘working with your
hands’
Manufacturing is on the decline
TRUE… BUT…
• Manufacturing employment peaked in 1979 accounting for about 20 million jobs
nationally. It is closer to 10 million today. Overall it is not a fast-growing sector
• However
• While the largest projected growth today is in the service sector there’s a catch:
• On average full-time manufacturing jobs pay 20% more than fulltime service sector jobs
• There are some very good-paying high growth jobs within the manufacturing sector that do not
require a four-year degree
• Many manufacturers in the Finger Lakes Region have more openings than qualified
candidates.
