Manufacturing Week
What is Manufacturing Week?
Manufacturing Week is a celebration by the U.S. Census Bureau that expands upon the traditional Manufacturing Day launched by the Manufacturing Institute in 2011 on the first Friday in October. The Census Bureau is celebrating the 11th anniversary by providing a week’s worth of rich content & statistics that inform businesses and policymakers.
The celebration also shines a light on careers in manufacturing, encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, parents, teachers, and community leaders.
The Census Bureau has created a Manufacturing Week home page with valuable manufacturing statistics and data products and will be posting historical facts about manufacturing on Twitter and Facebook all week long. The website features a wide range of resources, including: America Counts stories, Data, Data Tools, Visualizations, Training Resources and News.
Collectively, the data paint a picture of the state of this vital economic sector.
