U.S. manufacturers had a great 2018, but concerns continue to accompany every positive trend. There were some bright spots as well as concerns - both count because manufacturing still matters. It accounts for 70 percent of U.S. private sector R&D, 55 percent of its patents, and 60 percent of its exports. And it employs 30 percent of its engineers. How manufacturers resolve those issues will make a difference. This study examines them in greater depth.
