Manufacturers Must Become More Aggressive in Messaging Marketing and Client Engagement to Weather Recession Suggests Manufacturing Journalist TR Cutler

Manufacturing journalist, TR Cutler suggested that Friday’s jobs report represented another serious data point from the manufacturing sector, hard hit by the trade war and slowing global demand. Already in a recession, manufacturers added just 3,000 jobs in August, continuing a trend that’s fostering concerns about the rest of the economy. A widely used definition of a recession is when economic output shrinks for two straight quarters. According to Federal Reserve data, the manufacturing sector contracted in both the January through March period and again from April through June. Other indicators are suggesting further shrinkage through the summer including the monthly survey by the Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, this week showed that U.S. factory production and new orders fell sharply in August. 

Cutler strongly urged manufacturers to be far more aggressive in messaging, marketing, and client engagement to weather the story until the election heralds a new tide of date.
