Under President Trump, U.S. manufacturers posted their best year in two decades, the government reported Friday.

The manufacturing industry created a net 284,000 jobs in 2018, its best performance since 1997. The Labor Department said manufacturers added 32,000 jobs in December.

Most of those new jobs were in durable goods such as fabricated metals and electronics.
