Nearly 500 New Plants Scheduled to Begin Operations in U.S. in Second Half of 2011

SUGAR LAND--July 12, 2011--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The jobs situation in the United States has caused great frustration. The recession is officially over, but the unemployment rate has remained high, even increasing in June this year. Jobs are a top priority for the Obama administration, and with an election coming up next year, the lack of jobs could play a major role in who sits in the White House. Millions of jobs were lost during the recession, and they have been slow in coming back; however, progress is being made each and every month, as companies open new production plants that require qualified employees to run the machinery. During the second half of 2011, close to 500 new manufacturing plants are currently scheduled to begin operations in the U.S., which will create more than 42,500 jobs.
