The North American Manufacturing Core



Although Florida is not a part of the core, it still has important relation to manufacturing.

"Florida manufacturers are a powerful economic engine for the state’s economy. Many Florida manufacturing operations benefit from the presence of advanced research facilities at Florida’s universities and colleges, military installations, and NASA.The industry cluster counts nearly 18,000 manufacturers who employ close to 371,000 workers across the state."
