Electronics Manufacturing

Approximately 1.05 million Americans were employed in the computer electronic equipment manufacturing industry in 2014, as reported by the Department of Labor (DOL). This reflects an overall decline of employment in this industry. As of 2008, there were more than 1.2 million employees in the industry. The DOL projects that, through 2024, the greatest employment declines will occur in the computer and peripheral equipment sector, with an estimated loss of 27,300 jobs, and semiconductor and other electronic components sector, with a projected loss of 35,100 jobs.
