It was a sickly manufacturing sector that pushed the economy into a recession in 2001. Although most economists don't foresee that happening now, they think manufacturers are the weakest link in the economy's recovery.

In other somber news for manufacturers, the US trade gap bulged to a record $40.1 billion in November as imports soared after West Coast ports got back to business after an autumn labor dispute.
