How true. This year we'll only have $3 trillion or so in industrial production.

While at the same time industrial employment continues its multi-year decline.

I'm glad I could show you the truth about our rising industrial production.

While at the same time industrial employment continues its multi-year decline.

Yes, rising production with fewer workers is called higher productivity. In 1900, half the workforce were farmers. Now, only 2% are farmers and we produce more food than ever. I guess you'll explain how that's a bad thing?

Yeah, since the 1950's. Ever here of automation, productivity, etc.?
