Connecticut’s Manufacturing Sector is Coming Back!

Well, yes, but not right away, according to futurist Ken Gronhbach, who bases his prediction on demographic trends, accorinding to the Hartford Business Journal. America’s industrial workforce is relatively young, compared to China’s. Consequently, American companies will grow as people between the ages 6 and 24 enter the workforce. Connecticut will benefit from this trend, but the increase in manufacturing will come mainly from small firms making parts for larger ones.
