Abstract: This applied study explored the role of behavioral health issues among workers in the manufacturing industry in the United States. It features highlights of a previous much larger study in 2024 of eight different industries. The 29.3 million employees in the manufacturing and related heavy labor industries (construction, wholesale trade, maintenance/repair, and energy utilities) accounted for about 1 in every 5 workers in the total U.S. workforce in year 2024.
