Original Note:
The close to 800k (764k) manufacturing jobs total is factually correct but missing context. The Oct. 2023 figure is 175k higher than the Feb. 2020 peak from before COVID-19 forced layoffs. It’s more accurate to say 589k manufacturing jobs were recovered and 175k created. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES3000000001
