One trend showing up repeatedly in Texas manufacturing:
Operations are running lean and covering gaps with overtime.
Manufacturing overtime averaged 3.8 hours/week in 2025 and remains elevated in 2026.
That works for a while.
Until:
fatigue increases
quality slips
supervisors burn out
turnover compounds the problem
We can help balance the actual cost of overtime with hiring flexibility.
