July 8, 2026  Which U.S. States Rely Most on Manufacturing? Manufacturing remains one of the driving forces behind the U.S. economy, but its importance varies significantly from state to state. While some states have shifted toward technology or service industries, others continue to rely heavily on manufacturing to support jobs, investment, and economic growth. According to 2025 data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Indiana leads the nation, with manufacturing contributing approximately 24% of the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). No other state comes close, with Louisiana ranking second at just over 17%. Manufacturing Powers the Midwest The Midwest continues to serve as the heart of American manufacturing. States including Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, Ohio, Kansas, and Minnesota all generate a significant portion of their economies from manufacturing activities. Many of these states have built long-standing industries around automotive production, steel, food processing, industrial machinery, chemical manufacturing, and agricultural equipment. Their central locations, transportation infrastructure, and skilled workforce have helped keep manufacturing a major economic contributor for decades. Minnesota, for example, ranks among the nation’s leading manufacturing states, with the industry accounting for 11.5% of its GDP. The state’s diverse manufacturing sector includes medical technology, food production, machinery, electronics, and precision manufacturing. Why Indiana Leads the Nation Indiana has earned its reputation as one of America’s manufacturing powerhouses through a diverse industrial base. The state is home to major automotive manufacturers, steel production facilities, pharmaceutical companies, and energy-related industries. Northwestern Indiana produces more steel than any other state, while Indianapolis serves as headquarters for several global manufacturing companies. Its central location and extensive transportation network also make Indiana an attractive destination for manufacturers distributing products throughout North America. Manufacturing Continues to Evolve Although manufacturing remains essential to many state economies, the industry has changed considerably over the past several decades. Global competition and overseas production reduced manufacturing employment in many regions, particularly across the Midwest. However, recent investments in domestic production are beginning to reshape the industry. New facilities focused on semiconductor manufacturing, electric vehicles, battery production, clean energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing are creating fresh opportunities across both the Midwest and Southern United States. These investments are part of a broader trend toward reshoring manufacturing operations and strengthening domestic supply chains. Looking Ahead Manufacturing continues to play a vital role in America’s economy by supporting innovation, providing skilled careers, and driving regional economic growth. While technology continues to transform the industry, states with strong manufacturing infrastructure remain well-positioned to benefit from future investments and expanding domestic production. As companies continue modernizing operations and bringing more manufacturing back to the United States, many industrial regions are expected to remain important contributors to the nation’s long-term economic success.

July 6, 2026Q2’s rally As the second quarter concluded on Tuesday, the NASDAQ ended up more than 21% higher for the three-month period while the S&P 500 climbed nearly 15%—the biggest quarterly gains for both indexes since 2020. The Dow added 13%, its best quarter since 2022. The results marked a shift from this year’s first quarter, when the indexes sustained their largest quarterly declines in nearly four years.   Regaining momentum The latest turn in shifting narratives about AI and semiconductor prospects lifted the major U.S. stock indexes, as each finished around 2% higher for the week on Thursday, before Friday’s pre-holiday market closure. The Dow climbed to a record high, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ remained below the peak levels they recorded on June 2.   Jobs setback U.S. jobs growth fell short of economists’ expectations in June, marking a shift after gains exceeded consensus forecasts in the preceding three months. The economy generated 57,000 new jobs last month—roughly half the total that had been expected—and initial estimates of gains in April and May were adjusted downward by a combined 74,000.   Earnings outlook Growth expectations remain strong as major U.S. banks prepare to kick off earnings season in mid-July. As of Thursday, analysts were expecting S&P 500 companies to report second-quarter earnings growth of 23.3% on average, according to FactSet. If that proves to be the actual growth rate, it would mark the second consecutive quarter of growth exceeding 20%.   Read Full Article: https://www.jhinvestments.com/weekly-market-recap#market-moving-news [...] Read more...

July 1, 2026Where Americans Work the Longest Weeks: How Industry Shapes the U.S. Workweek Americans may share the same 40-hour workweek tradition, but the number of hours actually worked varies from state to state. Recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals noticeable differences in average private-sector workweeks across the country, with local industries playing a major role in how long employees spend on the job. Southern and Energy-Producing States Lead the Nation States with strong energy, manufacturing, and natural resource industries tend to report the longest average workweeks. Louisiana ranks first, with private-sector employees averaging 36.3 hours per week, followed closely by Texas (35.9 hours) and Alabama (35.8 hours). Other states near the top of the rankings include: District of Columbia – 35.4 hours Alaska – 35.3 hours West Virginia – 35.3 hours Mississippi – 35.2 hours Arkansas – 35.1 hours Kentucky – 35.1 hours Oklahoma – 35.1 hours These industries often require around-the-clock operations, shift work, and continuous production schedules, contributing to longer average workweeks. Industry Mix Makes the Difference The data suggests that average work hours are influenced more by a state’s dominant industries than by employee productivity. States with a higher concentration of manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, utilities, and industrial operations typically report longer workweeks because many positions require full-time staffing, rotating shifts, and continuous operations. Meanwhile, states with larger employment in professional services, finance, education, healthcare, tourism, and technology often report slightly shorter average workweeks. These sectors may include more salaried positions, flexible schedules, and standard office hours. Even large economic centers such as California, New York, Massachusetts, and Hawaii fall below many energy-producing states when it comes to average weekly hours worked. Small Weekly Differences Create a Big Annual Impact Although the gap between the highest and lowest average workweeks is less than four hours per week, those extra hours accumulate over time. Across an entire year, the difference approaches 200 additional hours worked—roughly the equivalent of five extra full-time workweeks. This highlights how regional economies and workforce demands can shape employee schedules over the long term. What This Means for Employers Understanding workforce trends can help businesses benchmark staffing practices, labor planning, and employee expectations. While longer workweeks do not necessarily indicate higher productivity or greater earnings, they do reflect the operational needs of different industries and regional economies. As labor markets continue to evolve, employers may increasingly balance operational demands with employee well-being, flexibility, and workforce retention to remain competitive.
