The link in Post #7 indicates that U.S. manufacturing employment peaked in 1979. This means that:
1. U.S. manufacturing jobs declined under Ronald Reagan.
2. U.S. manufacturing jobs declined under George H. W. Bush.
3. U.S. manufacturing jobs declined under Bill Clinton.
4. U.S. manufacturing jobs declined under George W. Bush.
I'm starting to see a trend here. I think it's safe to predict the following:
5. U.S. manufacturing jobs will decline under Donald Trump.
