"Nebraska, The Good Life" is more than just a slogan. It's a way of life most Nebraskans come to expect. For many Nebraskans, a great life can be a way of life with a career in the manufacturing industry. There are more than 100,000 people in Nebraska working in the more than 2,000 manufacturing businesses, with salaries that average nearly $4,500 more than the annual wages for the rest of the population.

And there is a wide variety when it comes to the type of manufacturing companies and products from which to choose. Nebraska has a strong presence in the manufacturing of food products, chemicals, machinery, computers and electronics, fabricated metal, and motor and vehicle parts. And don't get hung up on the old notion about the kind of manufacturing jobs that existed 50 years ago. There is a great need for every kind of job that supports manufacturing, including engineering, drafting, marketing, sales, welding, robotics operators, CNC operators, and more. And the great thing is that the more creative you are, the more you are needed.
