Manufacturing Resurgence Affects Aerospace & Defense Company

Manufacturing ResurgenceAmerican manufacturing is making a resurgence. And with headlines like that, it is possible to see reshoring trends reflected more prominently in the data. The NAM/IndustryWeek 2013 Q3 Survey found manufacturing is “picking up steam.” And their data points to a 3.5% increase in manufacturing production, with the majority of employers not adding to payrolls. Many regional surveys backed up this analysis, with rebounds in the latest reports from ISM-Chicago and the Chicago and Dallas Federal Reserve Banks.
