Reality is that we got fewer manufacturing jobs now than we did two years ago, and since O got elected the U.S. has lost 800K+ manufacturing jobs. Not gained, not saved, lost.
Thanks for the chart, expat. My understanding, also from the Bureau of Labor, is that the U.S. now has 9 million fewer workers in the workplace than in 2008. I think President-elect Trump is going to change that significantly!
