Excerpt From: The 'State' of Manufacturing

"I always assumed that Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania would be in the top-3 of any sort of economic ranking of manufacturing (or, for that matter, any credible College Football poll). But, I was surprised to see that's not the case, according to the EPI economists.

Today, manufacturing maintains the largest local footprint in Indiana (28 percent of the state's GDP), Iowa (21 percent) and, believe it or not, Louisiana (21 percent). Wisconsin is next on the list, followed by North Carolina, Arkansas, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama and Michigan. In California and Texas, manufacturing generated a smaller share of each state's GDP (10 percent and 13 percent, respectively), but both of those large states generated more than $100 billion in manufacturing GDP in 2006."
