Our performance and sentiment indicators this month justify our optimism about the markets and employment prospects for our precision machining industry in 2021. The six- month trend of steady sales in our index shows that we are most likely being constrained by lack of supply and workers. We are performing strongly even as relevant FED indicators declined in February.
Demand can only accelerate as our broader economy opens up and consumers spend their new-found savings. Pay attention to the numbers, and not the pessimists. The numbers reflect both a current positive reality for our precision machining shops and anticipate an even stronger three months ahead.

Clamping and gripping various components for machining and fabricating can often be an overlooked variable for improving production and maximizing profits. This webinar will demonstrate how Carbinite Metal Coatings’ textured tungsten-carbide coatings have been proven to increase the coefficient of friction, resulting in greater holding power and allowing you to increase feed rates, optimize production efficiency, and extend tool life. Carbinite coatings adhere to the base metal, creating a metallurgical bond that is guaranteed to not crack, chip, or peel.

The DoD grant to Massachusetts is for the development of a training program titled MassBridge. You can learn more here.
We sincerely hope is that this training becomes the model for the rest of the country.
The On-the-Job Training (OJT) Program assists employers with the cost of hiring and training a new employee. It is funded through the federal Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and administered through the MassHire Career Centers in Massachusetts.
The OJT Program enables employers to hire new employees and train them at their place of business while being reimbursed a percentage of the new employee’s wages during training.
