Industry Focused Initiatives
In Georgia, more than 400,000 people are employed by manufacturers across the state and more than 100,000 people are directly engaged in the manufacturing industry supply chain. When looking at industry sectors in Georgia, food and beverage manufacturing and transportation equipment manufacturing make up the two largest subsets of manufacturing, accounting for almost 30 percent of all jobs in manufacturing in the state, as well as the largest opportunity for job growth, according to the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
