Context: all US manufacturing
The Census Bureau counted 284,452 manufacturing establishments employing 12,335,234 people in 2023 (County Business Patterns). EPA's ECHO database lists 145,910 active manufacturing facilities it regulates. Announced jobs at new plants are targets, often reached over several years, not hires to date.
Method
- A project enters the index with at least one primary source: a company release, a state economic-development release, an SEC filing or a federal award notice.
- Status comes from dated milestones (announced, groundbreaking, construction, production, paused, cancelled). A milestone that only news reports is marked "reported".
- Investment and jobs are announced figures, as stated by the source. Where a source gives none, we leave it blank; blanks are not counted as zero in the text above, which is why we show how many are missing.
- Figures are re-checked weekly; each project page shows its last-checked date. The index is published monthly. Full method.
