The Earnings of New Hires in Manufacturing

The following report was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce on Aug. 21, 2013. It is reproduced in full below.

Manufacturing jobs, including new manufacturing jobs, continue to deserve their reputation as good jobs. We use a relatively new data source, the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI), to analyze the earnings of new hires relative to incumbent workers in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing. We find that new hires in the manufacturing sector earn more than new hires in other industries and have done particularly well since the recession began.
