2. Electronic equipment: $165,604,449,000 (10.5%)

Really? We do not make TV, screens in the USA anymore. I wonder what is in this category.

Among other things? While we don’t make cell phones, we *do* make all the stuff that makes cell phones work - the tower top antenna units, the base station radios, the switching gear, the list goes on and on.

We don’t make *consumer* electronics any more, no. Infrastructure/backoffice electronics, the stuff Joe Consumer never sees? Oh hell yes.

There’s lots more besides consumer stuff. Think medical, military, equipment controls for ag, mining and petroleum, commercial printers, software, etc. Lots of high end stuff is still American-made.
