We've been busy eliminating "jobs in manufacturing" but not the manufacturing itself. We make more stuff than ever, and a far higher percentage of it is done by industrial robots or automated systems than in other industrial nations except, perhaps, Japan.
Eventually there will be no assembly-line employment in the United States ~ probably within a couple of decades.

That's not ultimately a bad trend, IMO. I haven't seen US manufacturing statistics outside of brief articles containing special interest skews and terseness, though.

What is bad, is that we’re turning our own men away from robotics, controls, etc., at very young ages (starts with our pathological policies to cause fatherlessness and depopulation, teacher hatred against boys,...) and preferring only foreign students and women for such work. Most of the women don’t want to do it, so our business managers prefer foreign men.
