2018 – manufacturers had the best year for job creation in more than two decades
Economic commentators are catching on to the story manufacturers have been sharing for a while: In 2018, manufacturers were the stars of the U.S. economy. Our industry had the best year for job creation in more than two decades, adding an average of 22,000 jobs every month—bringing the total number of American manufacturing workers to more than 12.8 million.
Powered by tax reform and regulatory certainty, manufacturers spent the year keeping our promise to secure those tools and invest in our people. In addition to hiring new workers, manufacturers also raised wages and benefits and invested in new operations and new equipment. Reflecting the historic nature of 2018, the National Association of Manufacturers’ Outlook Survey, which has tracked manufacturers’ sentiment for 20 years, hit a new record of optimism.
Manufacturers entered 2019 with strong momentum, and now we expect the growth and hiring to continue. We have challenges, to be sure, and know there will always be bumps along the way—but the skeptics and naysayers have it wrong when they question the strength of modern manufacturing in America. In reality, manufacturers wish we could hire skilled workers even faster. There just are not enough of them.
We need skilled workers—and we need them now. In addition to men and women who create things with their hands, this includes coders, programmers, technicians, designers and other jobs that require some degree of specialized training….

The illegals Pelousee & Chuck the Shmuck want to flood the U.S. with are illiterate disease-carrying perpetual welfare scabs ( reliable dem voters, tho ). They’re not a source for skilled workers. And the shortage we have now is because of the dumbing down of the public school centers of leftist indoctrination, due to dems policies. The bottom line, everything that benefits the U.S. is due to conservatives – everything damaging comes via the communist leftist hate America first liars.
The policies of our great President Donald J. Trump are really great for the future of American citizens.

- Manufacturing infrastructure will take years, if not decades to come back.
- Fiat/Chrysler’s Jeep Wrangler JL, introduced in 2018 has been doing very well in sales. Plus, the replaced model Wrangler JK’s plant is being converted to manufacture Jeep’s SUT.
- So it is not that manufacturing is coming back, but Jeep is expanding on it’s Wrangler family.
Jeeps sales numbers are good but have probably peaked out. The owner satisfaction rating is dismal.
Jeep Wrangler has its own niche – a very faithful niche. I am one of those Jeepers since a few years. I was an FJ Cruiser owner prior to that. I don’t go off road much but I like to drive something which is capable and there when I am in the mood.
The new JL’s introduced in 2018 are awesome. I got the turbo 2.0L version which has an Alfa Romeo’s tried and tested engine. I drive it like it is a hot rod. 😉

Toyota has hinted that they are bringing back the FJ as a direct rival to the Wrangler.
And Ford’s bringing back the Bronco.

Personally I like my mode of transport, 30 yrs old this year, a Mercedes 420sec, and careful driving she gets 33 mpg
