The economy added 7,000 factory jobs in May 2026. It’s not nothing, but it’s also not a lot!
The Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) educates policymakers and the public, advocates for actions that will create more manufacturing jobs in America, and builds coalitions to support our mission. We have a 15+ year track record of success, and we see a brighter future for U.S. factories ahead. Learn more.
AAM was founded in 2007 by leading domestic manufacturers and the United Steelworkers, North America’s largest industrial union, with a clear mission: strengthen American manufacturing through smart public policies.
Capacity utilization for manufacturing increased slightly to 75.8% in April.
