Examples include: • Paper and paper • Cleaning supplies • Textiles • Footwear and apparel • Food and fuel • Office supplies • Packaging and containers • Products • Personal products • Rubber and plastics

  10. Wisconsin has a much greater portion of its non-durable goods manufacturing workers employed in papermaking and in printing than in the U.S. as a whole Source: Annual Average Employment, 2010, Quarterly Census of Employment , WI Department of Workforce Development
