“Then we add in mining and utilities (so, oil and gas production and then the creation of energy from them)”

And do the numbers for manufacturing count the items that US corporations manufacture overseas?

Are we manufacturing more cars, trucks, backhoes, ships, etc,?

Do we manufacture our own busses or trains?

Are we producing more steel?

No

Cars, trucks, and backhoes yes. Ships no. The US government destroyed the non-military domestic shipbuilding industry decades ago.

Do we manufacture our own busses or trains?

Trains yes. Busses I don't know.

BTW the manufacturing numbers do include items manufactures here by foreign corporations. A job at VW is as much an auto worker job as a job at Ford.
