The Department
of Commerce released its quarterly report on the health of the U.S. manufacturing sector today. Manufacturing
corporations' profits totaled $149.0 billion in the second quarter of 2012, up
$0.7 billion from the previous quarter, but down from the $153.4 billion logged
in the second quarter of 2011.
Though profits have idled, they’ve still rallied significantly since
posting losses of more than $70 billion in late 2008. In fact, current profits are the highest experienced in the 21st
century other than the marginally higher 2nd quarter in 2011.
