This is why manufacturing
matters in Michigan
| 646,000 | Number of workers employed in manufacturing in the state of Michigan. |
| 20.7% | Manufacturing’s contribution to Michigan’s Gross State Product, more than any other sector — nearly double that of the second largest contributor, Real Estate, at 12.08%. |
$1.5
billion | A conservative estimate of the dollar amount manufacturers contribute annually toward educational, cultural, human services and other community-building efforts. |
$4.37
billion | Money invested in Michigan by the automotive industry alone in 2005—67% of the state’s total monitored capital investments. |
$16.9
billion | The amount spent on research and development in Michigan, all part of the manufacturing process. More than 85% of the North American automotive R&D occurs in this state. |
| $1.37 | The amount generated by every $1 manufacturers spend—which is more economic activity than any other economic sector. |
