Florida Manufacturing Industry Florida manufacturers are critical to the state s economy. Many Florida manufacturing operations benefit from the presence of advanced research facilities at Florida s universities and colleges, military installations, and NASA. In June 2016, Florida manufacturing was 4.4 percent of the employment for all industries. Manufacturing is separated into durable goods manufacturing and nondurable goods manufacturing. Durable goods manufacturing accounted for 67.9 percent of June 2016 manufacturing employment and nondurable goods manufacturing accounted for 32.1 percent. Manufacturing had 20,187 establishments in June 2016, with employment of 355,291 jobs. Employment was up 11,968 jobs (+3.5 percent) over the year.

Manufacturing employment was on a downward trend from January 2001 to November 2003. From November 2003 to June 2006, employment briefly rose before once again following a trend of decline from June 2006 to October 2010. Manufacturing employment has been growing since the October 2010 low of 305,499 jobs. Manufacturing employment increased by 49,792 jobs from October 2010 to June 2016. The largest industry subsectors in manufacturing in June 2016 were computer and electronic product manufacturing (41,599 jobs); transportation equipment manufacturing (41,227 jobs); fabricated metal product manufacturing (37,857 jobs); miscellaneous manufacturing (31,925 jobs); food manufacturing (30,862 jobs); and machinery manufacturing (27,340 jobs). These six subsectors made up 59.3 percent of total manufacturing employment. Food manufacturing is the only subsector of these six that manufactures nondurable goods. Durable Goods Manufacturing Durable goods manufacturing includes the following industry subsectors: wood product manufacturing; nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing; primary metal manufacturing; fabricated metal product manufacturing; machinery manufacturing; computer and electronic product manufacturing; electrical equipment and appliance manufacturing; transportation equipment manufacturing; furniture and related product manufacturing; and miscellaneous manufacturing.
