USA Manufacturing Output set an all time record high in 2007.

It then crashed by 17% in 2008-2009, during the Great Recession.

In 2017, USA output was just a fraction below the 2007 record.

In January 2018, USA manufacturing employment was 12.6 million.

That’s about 1.1 million less workers than January 2008.

There has been a productivity increase of about 1% per year for the last ten years.

Think how high industrial out put would be if the USA hadn't foolishly off shored manufacturing!

Globalism will be defeated just like Communism and Fascism were defeated in the 20th century.
