Structural Costs Study

The Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI) and The Manufacturing Institute partnered to produce the 2011 Structural Costs Study. This report is the fourth in our ongoing series comparing the structural costs of manufacturing in the United States to those of our nine largest trading partners.

"This report tells an important story, one in which the White House and Congress should be very interested," said Stephen Gold, President and CEO of the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI). "While we recognize American manufacturers face a myriad of challenges from overseas, these data demonstrate that domestically imposed costs further undermine our ability to compete. We hear a great deal from policymakers these days about the need to bring manufacturing back to America, yet these challenges continue to undercut American manufacturing competitiveness."
