There is still LOTS of manufacturing in the states.
Just as an example: The housing market is booming. The makers of windows, doors, siding, roof, lumber, PVC pipe, wire, lawnmowers, fencing products, cabinets, flooring, carpet, furniture, plumbing fixtures, paint, garage door openers, concrete, etc, etc are all doing VERY well right now.
And most of the people working in those industries are actually putting anything together. They are accounts, sales reps, office people, etc. Do their numbers count as being in the "manufacturing sector?"
There will be a ripple effect...when people lose good paying jobs, they will have to take service jobs which pay less and have few benefits. Such people will soon not be able to afford the home they have-much less consider buying a new home. Eventually, the government will not be able to hide the fact our economy is taking a huge hit via outsourcing and allowing illegals into this country.
The makers of windows, doors,.... etc, etc are all doing VERY well right now.
But are they selling product in the PRC?
