So they’re including “flipping burgers” and “bagging fries” as “manufacturing jobs now, huh?
......and manufacturing hair weaves and nail designs, and vaping .........................
Are hamburger-flipping jobs really considered manufacturing jobs now?
Technology eliminates jobs and also creates them. Does it eliminate more than it creates? Are the created ones lower paying than the eliminated ones? Are the created jobs higher paying but fewer in number. These questions are beside the point. We must allow our free economy to keep our citizens working and having enough money to live decent lives. What’s a decent life? A slippery question.
What we don’t need is an invasion of cheap labor and lower-cost foreign made products. Our citizens need to have jobs. It doesn’t matter if home-made things cost a little more than foreign-made things. Things are real cheap now compared to the past. If a given item costs us a little more than it costs in another country, historically it’s still a good deal. There’s real value to the item being manufactured here.
I want America to be a thriving economy. I don’t want America to be part of a “thriving” world economy (there’s probably no such thing) in which America suffers and the global leaders get rich.
40%. Round numbers in stats are always a lie.
just ignore all those ‘made in China’ labels. They are just your imagination.
