Because industries are reliant on water, many jobs are potentially under threat due to the failing water and wastewater infrastructure in the United States. If the aging network is not improved, and water costs continue to rise, the manufacturing sector could record job losses of 47,000 by 2029, and 89,000 by 2039. In total, more than half a million jobs could be lost by 2029 across all industry sectors.
