The difference is that agriculture jobs flat out disappeared. The manufacturing jobs didn’t disappear, there still around. The got shipped out. So you are the one spewing nonsense.

Do you really believe this?

There are 1.3 billion people around the world working in agricultural jobs. That's about 40% of the world's work force.

The U.S. employs a lot less people in manufacturing than we used to, but we are still produce more finished products than ever before.

-—The manufacturing jobs didn’t disappear, there still around.

No that’s not true, there’s a lot of machines doing work that was done by workers. There’s increased computer control and communication that reduces labor requirements. And many of those automated jobs were less safe and had occupational exposure to hazardous materials.

Some were forced overseas by economics and regulations, but not all.
