The U.S. already has nearly half a million unfilled manufacturing jobs, according to the U.S. Labor Department.

A 2025 National Association of Manufacturers survey also shows nearly half of manufacturing companies say their biggest challenge is recruitment and retention in jobs with rigid hours, hard work, and risk of significant physical injury.
