Companies in this industry manufacture a wide variety of electrical devices and components, including lamps, lighting, household appliances, motors, transformers, switchboards, and batteries. Currently, appliances companies in Tennessee employ 17,753 workers, the fourth highest level of employment in the nation.1 Since 2012, employment grew by 11.2%, significantly higher than the regional or national growth rates. This job creation (1,789 net new jobs) was the fourth largest increase in employment in the nation. Major household appliance manufacturing made the largest employment gains in Tennessee during this time, adding 2,216 net new jobs. Power, distribution, and specialty transformer manufacturing achieved a 50.1% increase in employment. Tennessee’s employment concentration for these industries (3.13) is the second highest in the nation behind Wisconsin. Tennessee has the highest employment concentration in the nation for appliance manufacturing. Average employee earnings for this cluster in Tennessee are $87,297. Average employee earnings in lighting equipment manufacturing ($114,257) rank first nationally.2 Tennessee also ranks second nationally for average employee earnings in lighting fixture manufacturing as well as switchboard manufacturing. In 2017, Tennessee appliance companies earned $1.4 billion. Household appliance manufacturers accounted for 11.3% of all cluster revenue.

June 2018 2 Between 2017 and 2022, Tennessee is predicted to continue growing employment at a rate greater than the regional and national averages. The three states that currently outrank Tennessee in employment – Ohio, Wisconsin, and California – are expected to each lose 600 jobs or more during this time. Tennessee has 141 companies in this cluster. Switchgear and switchboard apparatus manufacturing accounts for the most significant share of business locations in this cluster (32 total establishments), followed by major household appliance manufacturing (23). Overall, Tennessee’s appliances industries have an establishment size of 126 workers on average, which is the fourth highest average of any US state. Establishment size varies substantially between industries.
