Despite an increase of manufacturing enterprises that have focused on domestic job creation in their respective industry, that job market has yet to reach the status it held before the 2008 recession. Despite the slow recovery, the state of Indiana continues to lead the nation in growth within this sector. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has recently quantified the success of the Hoosier State in leading an economic resurgence for manufacturers.

Over the past 12 months, Indiana has added 13,700 factory jobs. That figure places Indiana well above the second most successful state in the nation; Texas. Growth within the Hoosier State's manufacturing economy highlights the renewed investment into this industrial sector. Increasing the availability of domestic jobs is a ramification of that success.

Indiana is estimated to have 502,800 manufacturing jobs within the state. This figure falls only 10,000 short of where it stood before the recession. With constant growth, it appears as it if will only be a matter of time before that figure is reached and eventually surpassed.

The state's governance is attributed to its success in adding jobs to the manufacturing marketplace. Indiana Senator Brandt Hershman spoke to the policies that have enabled this progress.

"Every day, our low-tax, job-friendly environment draws more employers to Indiana and away from unfavorable states like our neighbor, Illinois, which ranked dead last for manufacturing job growth. As state leaders continue to work hard to attract job opportunities for Hoosiers, I anticipate these trends will continue." said Hershman.

As manufacturing jobs continue to be added, enterprise resource planning must be implemented within enterprises that expand their payroll. Accent Software, Inc. provides manufacturers with business management software to accelerate the resurgence of Indiana's labor market by improving operations and ultimately, adding jobs.
