Help Wanted: Manufacturing Position
This article points out how manufacturing firms are increasing their employment, while other private sector jobs are still laying off or not hiring. This increased demand for labor is presumably stemming from the increase in production output and the demand for manufactured products. This is interesting, because manufacturing jobs have tended to be the most stable and long-term field of labor, and some say that these blue-collar jobs could be back on the rise in popularity.

It is interesting to note that US which was predominantly a service-based economy till the recession, is now shifting to manufacturing. US is trying to maximize its productivity by undertaking extensive growth policy through large increase in the inputs. The added pressure of imports from emerging markets like India and China, is fueling the manufacturing industry.
