The Business Council of Alabama and the Alabama Technology Network recently honored top manufacturers in the state. On the list:
- Nucor Steel Decatur, LLC
- Jenkins Brick Co.

- Decatur Plastics Inc.
At the ceremony, former U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta noted, "Around Alabama, your companies, big and small alike, are leading the state's economic expansion and manufacturing boom." Mineta went on to cite manufacturing business as one of the reasons behind Alabama's exceptionally low unemployment rate of 3.2%. In 2006, manufacturers in Alabama produced a total real output of nearly $28.3 billion, and employed 302,000 residents.
Alabama income varies widely, based on a worker's education and experience. Entry-level accountants in Birmingham make $42,200 on average, according to Salary.com.
