Manufacturing in America

This picture graph sample shows how does manufacturing compare with other industries in U.S. It was designed using data from the U.S. Census Bureau website. [census.gov/how/img/manufacturing_2014_th.jpg] "Manufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be used for manufacturing other, more complex products, such as aircraft, household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users and consumers."
