Maybe having a higher manpower production is worth it when you consider that manpower is the only resource you cannot purchase on the market, trade or get externally in any other way. Its acquisition is just more limited than the other resources.
I am not saying this is an amazing reason to build a lot of local industry but if manpower is your bottleneck - which, if you remember a few patches back, it was for a lot of players - local industry might be exactly what you are looking for. Especially since there is only a limited amount of urbans to build your industry in.
