In the context of the New Era, enhancing the effectiveness of public services is crucial to advancing and optimizing manufacturing structure. This paper organizes the literature on public service efficiency and manufacturing structure upgrading, analyzes the mechanism of public service efficiency promoting manufacturing structure, and concludes that both direct and indirect effects of public service efficiency affect manufacturing structure upgrading, with indirect effects including talent agglomeration and technological innovation. The optimization path is then presented, consisting of the following steps: Transforming government functions and enhancing the efficiency of public services; Promoting the recruitment of high-caliber talent; and Continuing to support technological innovation.
