Manufacturing Trends <br />In the 1960s, the East Bay's manufacturing sector accounted <br />for nearly 28 percent of all jobs. Today, the industry comprises <br />only 8 percent of jobs. Remarkable gains in productivity and <br />automation, as well as increased international competition, are <br />major reasons for the decreases. Despite declines in the sector <br />employment overall, the East Bay's manufacturing output <br />remains strong - comprising about 15 percent of overall GRP. <br />In addition, manufacturing activities directly and indirectly <br />support other economic activities, which keeps the East Bay <br />thriving and growing. <br />140,000 <br />120,000 <br />100,000 <br />`c <br />E 80.E <br />E 60,000 <br />LU 40,000 <br />20,000 <br />0 <br />Manufacturing Employment <br />iiiiiiinirManufacturing Employment —4'. of Total Regional Employment <br />O O O OO O O O O <br />O O O O O N O O N CN O <br />N N N N N O O O O O O ON <br />N N N N N N N N N <br />8% <br />1296 „ 6% <br />c <br />4% <br />10% a. <br />O 2% <br />5- <br />89. <br />8% w 0% <br />-2% <br />6% o <br />11% <br />4% W -6% <br />29, $90 <br />o -109. <br />ae -12% <br />Source: Manex. <br />Annual Percent Growth <br />of Manufacturing Jobs <br />— East Bay --- ---aVjf,,,a <br />H H O H H H H H O O O O O O O O O <br />N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N <br />Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics; DatabaseUSA, EMSI, 2019. <br />Manufacturing Businesses <br />Annual Manufacturing Business Starts <br />3,500 <br />3,000 <br />90 <br />80 <br />2,500 <br />70 <br />2,000 <br />60 <br />50 <br />1,500 <br />1 1 1 1 1 1111111111 <br />40 <br />1,000 <br />30 <br />20 <br />500 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />O O O O O O O .r- N_ M O �n ,_O n WW <br />N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N <br />_ <br />g o N t� 'cT �n .D n.
