As the Co-Chair of the California Aerospace Caucus, it is always exciting to see the future of American aerospace leadership up close. I am grateful to US Cargo Systems TransDigm and Congressman Davis for this informative visit!” In 2021, North Carolina’s total output for manufacturing was $102.34 billion, which supports 474,000 manufacturing jobs across the state. The average pay for these jobs is over $79,900 a year.
