Manufacturing Outlook
A 24% increase in jobs projected through 2016.

Pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing ranks as one of the fastest growing manufacturing industries in the nation - and is expected to grow by 24%.

In addition, since there will always be a market for diagnostics and over-the-counter and prescription medicine, demand is expected to remain strong in this industry. Best of all, salaries are much higher than in other manufacturing industries.
