Original Note:
The 801K manufacturing jobs total is factually correct but missing important context. The August 2023 figure is 212K higher than the February 2020 peak from before COVID-19 forced layoffs. It’s more accurate to say 589K manufacturing jobs were recovered and 212K created. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES3000000001
