ADVANCED MANUFACTURING WILL SHAPE OUR FUTURE

摘要

Besides professional services, manufacturing employs more engineers than any other category. "Engineering is critical to manufacturing," says Engineers Australia Policy Analyst Andre Kaspura. There are over 40,000 engineers employed in the sector, out of an overall workforce of 900,000. He says that between 2006 and 2011 manufacturing employment shrank from 10.5% to 9.0% of the workforce, while engineering employment actually increased.
