The ups and downs of manufacturing in Wales
Just under 20 percent of employees jobs in Wales are in manufacturing. This percentage is higher than that of the UK generally.

At seven percent, Wales has a higher rate of employment than other parts of the UK except the northeast, and its GDP per head is about 80 percent of the national average.
