U.S. manufacturers are estimated to have contributed $2.91 trillion to the
economy this year. For every $1 spent in manufacturing there's an impact of $2.69
to the overall economy, according to the National Association of Manufacturers.
But the majority of manufacturers are considered small businesses, with fewer
than 500 employees. Which seems to be a good segue to some Maine-related facts.
Manufacturers in
Maine account for 10%
of state GDP, employing
1 in 10 workers.
Maine has an
estimated 1,870
manufacturing firms
Total output from
manufacturing was $6.3
billion.
There are 52,561
manufacturing
employees in Maine,
with an average annual
compensation of
$67,650.
