Technology makes our lives simpler.
Scientists, engineers, technologists and technicians all contribute to the wondrous development of technology. The manufacturing industry, with its factories and suppliers, helps keep America running. Construction, with all of its related fields, is an enormous industry. However, it is tied closely with the economy and is one of the first fields to be affected by recession and economic change. The transportation industry includes occupations moving both people and products via buses, railroads, trucks, airplanes and ships.
