FOOTBALL PARTY CATERING WOW U.S. bureau report highlights impact on wages, trade MILWAUKEE — In 2017, the manufac- turing sector in Wisconsin produced $59.1 billion in economic output, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the most recent year for which figures are available. That year, manufacturers employed 16.4 percent of the state work- force, nearly twice the national average of 8.6 percent and second only to Indiana. In addition, overall manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin still provide significantly higher than average pay despite factory workers being less likely to have a college degree. The average manufacturing job in the state paid $56,980 in 2017 compared to the average annual wage of $47,250 for all workers. Jobs in production, or on the fac- tory line, provide relatively strong wages though they pay less than the average across all state occupations. Manufacturing workers are also more likely to belong to a union than other Wisconsin workers. The industry also accounts for the vast majority of state exported goods. The U.S. Census Bureau reports manu- facturing contributed $20.8 billion of Wisconsin's $22.3 billion in total exported goods in 2017, or just over 93 percent — above the national average. Manufactured goods have consistently made up that percentage or more of state exports over the past decade. The indus- try's 2017 state exports were also 58.7 per- cent more than in 2000, even after account- ing for inflation.
