Factories and manufacturing used to be at the heart of the American workforce. Of course those days are long gone, but America’s innovative spirit can still be traced back to the plant floor. According to The New York Times, factories and farms employed 60 percent of the workforce in 1900, but by 1950 that number was 36 percent. By 2014, it had dropped all the way down to 10 percent.
Be that as it may, there is still a lot to be learned from factories still in operation today. That’s why factory tours can be such an enriching experience for entrepreneurs. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, actionable ideas or just an inexpensive-yet-stimulating day out of the office, this list of my favorite factories can help.
What a fascinating list! Factory tours truly offer such a unique blend of education and entertainment - it's amazing to see how things are actually made. This reminds me of how important it is to have the right tools for learning, whether you're exploring factories or attending online classes. For students balancing educational tours with their studies, having the interactive tools for online learning can make capturing notes, researching, and staying organized so much easier. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tour ideas!
