The Truth Is

• Off shoring has occurred in manufacturing and
  service sectors
• There will be economic cycles that affect
  employment in every sector
• Increases in productivity have affected
  manufacturing more than economic cycles have
• Improvements in productivity will continue to
  change the manufacturing sector

California Manufacturing?
Public perception of 21st Century Manufacturing
is not in-line with reality

Downey, we have a problem!

• The City of Downey has been the site of aviation
  ingenuity since 1929, when ranch land was
  converted into an airport and aircraft
  manufacturing facility
• For the next 70 years the site and facilities
  continued to be developed, expanded and utilized
  for aircraft manufacture, missile design and
  development, and ultimately for the design and
  production of Apollo command and service modules
  and production of the Space Shuttle Orbiters
• Downey California was the center of Americas
  lunar space program
• The Downey plant built 17 space modules
• 6 for unmanned test flights and 11 for manned
  flights
• The script of the movie Apollo 13 changed to
  Houston, we have a problem!
• Thus noting that America no longer associated
  Downey, California to the space program

But Arent California Manufacturing Jobs are
Going away?

• Some jobs have been affected, but not matching
  the perception
• Aerospace has seen job loss due to
• The economy
• Out-of-state relocation
• Productivity
• On the other hand, some relocations outside of
  California have not worked as well as expected
