Fabricated Metal

 

Some potential points to spur discussion:

  • Fabricated metal product manufacturing is positively association with greater access to the internet, perhaps due to greater productivity, lower costs, or better market access.
  • Fabricated metal manufacturing is more prevalent in counties with more high school educated residents.
  • Manufacturing industries seem to benefit from agglomeration, that is, locating in areas with higher shares of employment in manufacturing.
