Optimism about the future for manufacturing companies in the United States has hit an all-time record.
A new survey from the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) found that 95.1 percent of manufacturers have a “positive outlook” about their own companies. That’s the highest rate recorded since the survey was first introduced in the fourth quarter of 1997, over 20 years ago.
