Join the Association of Washington Business for 2020 Manufacturing Week LIVE and online starting Oct. 2 at 11:30 a.m.

The annual tour raises awareness of the role manufacturing plays, supports the successful growth of our state’s manufacturing sector, and also gives the opportunity to call some attention to some of our state’s manufacturers who are contributing to their communities and the state economy in innovative and impactful ways.

  • Manufacturing remains a vital part of Washington’s economy even as the economy grows and evolves.
  • Roughly 10 percent of Washington’s workforce is employed in manufacturing.
  • Manufacturing offers a pathway to the middle class with good-paying careers (average wage of $84,447); many do not require a four-year degree.
  • This is not your grandfather’s manufacturing economy. In many respects, today’s manufacturing jobs are high-tech jobs that require some form of post-secondary education.

AWB will talk with manufacturing leaders and local and state officials about how to help manufacturers lead the economic recovery. The weeklong series of streaming programs highlight the importance of manufacturing to the state’s economy.
