Why Study Machine Tool Technology:
Machinists held about 397,000 jobs in 2006. Most machinists work in small machining shops or in manufacturing industries, such as machinery manufacturing and transportation equipment manufacturing (motor vehicle parts and aerospace products and parts). Maintenance machinists work in most industries that use production machinery.
Job opportunities for machinists should continue to be excellent. |
