 The report had manufacturing output it as dollar value.  The Fed's Industrial production index also shows output soaring .

Your post showed a percentage that came out level.   The BEA didn't seem to show percent output numbers, do you have a link to the numbers?

I’ll look, but I might have to get back later (fixing to leave for work). My chart was based on % of GDP so it does not show how great the increase in GDP has been (especially during the last eight years.)
