Myth Busting Room

The NAM and The Manufacturing Institute’s research has shown that to persuade students, teachers and other career mentors about the value of manufacturing careers we have to overcome several top misperceptions, including: (1) manufacturing in America is in decline; (2) weak wages; and (3) automation is taking away the need for people. This opening challenge to the experience overcomes these misperceptions, showing that manufacturing in the United States is growing with many well-paying jobs to make products people love and need here in the United States.
