The Obama Administration has singled out reviving the manufacturing sector as a major priority this year<\/p><\/div>\n

Given that manufacturing got prominent play in the State of the State address<\/a> and <\/em>is a key piece of President Obama’s new jobs initiative<\/a>, StateImpact’s in full-on data-slicing mode.<\/p>\n

First, a bit of background.\u00a0 It’s well-known in the state’s business circles that, despite the decline of mills<\/a>, manufacturing<\/a> is still New Hampshire’s powerhouse industry.\u00a0 Smart Manufacturing\/High-Technology is the state’s largest economic sector, far outpacing tourism, which is often thought of as a “signature” industry for New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>And all the recent political buzz about manufacturing got us wondering…where are these economic juggernauts concentrated?<\/p>\n

And it just so happens, the US Census<\/a> Bureau had our back on that.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, we linked to just one of several interactive features<\/a> on the Census’ new County Business Patterns & Demographics map<\/a>.\u00a0 Unfortunately, this handy little tool wasn’t designed to be embedded on websites.\u00a0 But we highly encourage you to visit the map.<\/p>\n
