Made in America. That phrase is not as prevalent as it once was. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), manufacturing job losses totaled more than 2 million employees, or 15 percent of its workforce, during the 2007-2009 time span.
However, there could be a light at the end of the tunnel. After years of declining job figures, American manufacturing may finally be back. This is further evidenced by a BLS report that announced the addition of more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2010.
