The Fact
BLS reported that manufacturing and professional and business services together accounted for 35% of long-tenured displaced workers during 2023–2025.
What This Means
Displacement is not confined to one stereotypical kind of worker. A substantial share occurred in both manufacturing and the professional/business-services economy.
