This paper links the sharp drop in US manufacturing employment after 2000 to a change in US trade policy that eliminated potential tariff increases on Chinese imports. Industries more exposed to the change experience greater employment loss, increased imports from China, and higher entry by US importers and foreign-owned Chinese exporters. At the plant level, shifts toward less labor-intensive production and exposure to the policy via input-output linkages also contribute to the decline in employment. Results are robust to other potential explanations of employment loss, and there is no similar reaction in the European Union, where policy did not change.

The boiler and heat exchanger industry performance over the past five years has been shaped primarily by a prolonged decline in demand from key downstream markets, including nonresidential construction, industrial manufacturing and vehicle production. A major trend during this period has been the volatility of input costs, especially steel, which has created pricing uncertainty and squeezed profit margin for manufacturers. Despite modest pockets of resilience in data center cooling and specialized industrial segments, overall profit margin remained under pressure due to weak capital investment, rising operating costs and heightened competition from lower-cost imports. Additionally, wage growth remained sluggish, reflecting stagnant employment opportunities in lower-skilled roles across the industry. Profitability also suffered from a broader slump in global manufacturing activity and tightening federal monetary conditions. High interest rates and inflation dampened capital spending by end users, leading to reduced orders for boilers and heat exchangers. Meanwhile, supply chain constraints and the lag in recovery for nonresidential building projects further limited the industry's ability to rebound post-pandemic. Export growth, while positive, was unable to fully offset sluggish domestic demand. As a result of these combined pressures, industry revenue contracted over the past five years at a CAGR of -3.3%, with the current-year revenue reaching $7.3 billion. Looking forward, the industry is expected to stabilize and return to modest growth between over the next five years. Several drivers will support this rebound, including a forecasted rise in nonresidential construction and increased private investment in industrial machinery. Stricter emissions regulations and a growing preference for energy-efficient systems are anticipated to accelerate adoption of modern thermal management technologies, particularly in commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications. Demand for engineering and advanced technical roles is also projected to grow, contributing to rising industry wages and investment in innovation. With these structural shifts, the industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% over the next five years, reaching $8.4 billion in annual revenue by 2030.

The hand tool industry faced multiple challenges during the current period, primarily attributed to volatility in demand and fluctuating input costs, with notable impacts from the pandemic. The growth in hand tool prices during this period was driven by increases in the costs of key inputs like steel and plastic. However, these cost-driven price increases are expected to reverse in 2024 as the price of steel is projected to decline, contributing to an anticipated 3.2% drop in industry revenue. Overall, industry revenue is projected to decline at a CAGR of 0.6% to reach $7.9 billion in 2024. The industry experienced a significant dip in 2020 due to the pandemic, which caused demand-supply imbalances and widespread supply chain disruptions. Although there was a partial recovery in 2021 as supply chains stabilized and the economy began to rebound, demand dipped again in 2022 and continued to decline into 2024. This downturn in demand is largely linked to decreased construction activity and a reduction in demand for services from special trade contractors, which are key consumers of hand tools. In addition to these internal market challenges, the industry has also faced increasing international competitors who have been able to offer hand tools at more competitive prices. The industry is expected to grow, driven by a positive economic forecast and expected increases in consumer spending. As the economy grows, there is an anticipated increase demand across construction, manufacturing and do-it-yourself sectors, all of which rely on hand tools. Additionally, an increase in infrastructure investments will likely further stimulate demand for these tools, particularly for large-scale projects. Moreover, domestic manufacturers are anticipated to focus on increasing production efficiencies to stay competitive against international rivals. Overall, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 0.9% to reach $8.3 billion by 2029, along with an anticipated increase in the industry’s profit margin.

Between 1914 and 1969, weekly wages in manufacturing industries in the United States grew by a factor of 12. In the first half of the century, the most significant periods of increase came during the World Wars, as manufacturing industries were at the core of the war effort. However, wages then fell sharply after both World Wars, due to post-war recessions and oversaturation of the job market as soldiers returned home. Interwar period Wage growth during the interwar period was often stagnant, despite the significant economic growth during the Roarin' 20s, and manufacturing wages remained steady at around 24 dollars from 1923 to 1929. This was, again, due to oversaturation of the job market, as employment in the agricultural sector declined due to mechanization and many rural workers flocked to industrial cities in search of employment. The Great Depression then saw the largest and most prolonged period of decline in manufacturing wages. From September 1929 to March 1933, weekly wages fell from 24 dollars to below 15 dollars, and it would take another four years for them to return to pre-Depression levels. Postwar prosperity After the 1945 Recession, the decades that followed the Second World War then saw consistent growth in manufacturing wages in almost every year, as the U.S. cemented itself as the foremost economic power in the world. This period is sometimes referred to as the Golden Age of Capitalism, and the U.S. strengthened its economic presence in Western Europe and other OECD countries, while expanding its political and military presence across Asia. Manufacturing and exports played a major role in the U.S.' economic growth in this period, and wages grew from roughly 40 dollars per week in 1945 to more than 120 dollars by the late 1960s.
