Industry Focus Manufacturing In this month=E2=80=99s update, Chief Economist Ingo Winzer examines the ma= nufacturing sector, which accounts for about 8% of U.S. jobs. While overall= production has remained fairly steady since the pandemic recovery, slowing= job growth and weaker construction activity are beginning to affect some m= anufacturers. At the same time, performance varies widely across segments; = aerospace and pharmaceuticals are seeing growth, while industries tied to h= omebuilding and certain industrial inputs are facing softer demand. 202603_VIQ_IndustryFocus_YouTube (https://go.verticaliq.com/e3t/Ctc/OM+113/= cgPyW04/VWvsxJ4VvXLkW8L0mLh57ZdcnW3X6sTS5Lw8BpN4vJDLs3prCCW7lCdLW6lZ3psVRhV= 3D8j7rtmW5MPflk26PlczW38Kh-Z3_7NhxW2dYrDS4HrRwjN7x6HLlqGddpW8VN8X41JD7s5W5M= m_gC7__7kqW2Q8n7-4LXqvFW2Wgy1M26Jmb4N4l5RcDYz8ZmW9jq-gd5_HmXYMdRF3rx35jnW5h= _TjL4BRp-nW97qrZ446qbqbVSMrYQ8dptPqW3p5Rn_660q4DVSXZgZ7pjSPsW2R8_x_4-NvDLW7= NVqL151v3YLW2M9Cy-1S4dT7W5m5f081v0-VwW4w35N_1Nr_4CN3GZCqghGPrCW1_X2Lh6F1yGh= f2x88Bq04 ) Watch the Video (https://go.verticaliq.com/e3t/Ctc/OM+113/cgPyW04/VWvsxJ4VvXLkW8L0mLh57Zdcn= W3X6sTS5Lw8BpN4vJDLs3prCCW7lCdLW6lZ3psVRhV3D8j7rtmW5MPflk26PlczW38Kh-Z3_7Nh= xW2dYrDS4HrRwjN7x6HLlqGddpW8VN8X41JD7s5W5Mm_gC7__7kqW2Q8n7-4LXqvFW2Wgy1M26J= mb4N4l5RcDYz8ZmW9jq-gd5_HmXYMdRF3rx35jnW5h_TjL4BRp-nW97qrZ446qbqbVSMrYQ8dpt= PqW3p5Rn_660q4DVSXZgZ7pjSPsW2R8_x_4-NvDLW7NVqL151v3YLW2M9Cy-1S4dT7W5m5f081v= 0-VwW4w35N_1Nr_4CN3GZCqghGPrCW1_X2Lh6F1yGhf2x88Bq04 ) Why it matters: Understanding the shifting outlook for manufacturing can help advisors anti= cipate challenges and opportunities for business clients operating in or se= rving the sector.
