Nice infographic. Would also be interesting to see how the workforce is divided between all manufacturing industries. How many of those 12,4 million people are employed in food and beverage industries, how many are in plastics, etc.
It's amazing to see that 57% engineers and scientists are employed by manufacturing sector and not by the software, construction and healthcare industries. Nice info-graphic.
