Why Manufacturing?

Manufacturers in the United States need to fill 4 million jobs by 2030, according to a workforce study by the Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte. You are part of an industry that remains the foundation of our regional economy. The three-county region of Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties account for $7.5 billion in annual shipments, a payroll of $805 million, employee benefits of $241 million and over 18,000 jobs. Average compensation in manufacturing jobs in the United States is $88,406 including pay and benefits. While manufacturing offers a great career opportunity, you and other manufacturers in the region struggle to find the workers needed.
