American manufacturing is experiencing a revival, but there's a critical problem: nearly 500,000 manufacturing positions remain unfilled nationwide, and the crisis is about to get worse. The industry needs 3.8 million additional workers by 2033, yet nearly half of those positions could go unfilled due to a perfect storm of:
- Skills mismatches
- Outdated perceptions of manufacturing jobs
- An aging workforce heading toward retirement
