Mankato, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2014 -- Since January 2010, women lost more manufacturing roles than they gained. Women’s share of the manufacturing sector is currently just over 27 percent – the lowest level since 1971. Manufacturers’ Pain Points, a weekly newsletter, will address women in manufacturing in the upcoming November 24th issue. The weekly e-newsletter identifies manufacturing pain points that many industrial leaders are facing.

This means that while women represent nearly half of the total U.S. labor force, they only constitute approximately a quarter of the U.S. manufacturing workforce. Outdated and often wrong perceptions of manufacturing have impacted women’s desires to join the ranks of manufacturers.

The upcoming newsletter will address how high paying manufacturing jobs are especially important to female-head-of-households. Modernizing workplace policies and procedures proves beneficial to companies of all sizes. Companies cannot realize their full potential unless they optimize the talent in their workplaces to support women and overall family needs in the 21st century.
