Lizzie, you are wrong. Domestic firms that sell nationally or on a regional basis have not all exported their jobs since 1998. The gains being made in productivity we are doing here through automation and bigger equipment and have not moved our businesses offshore.

Productivity gains stopped working their magic in about 98. Since that time, what you are witnessing in productivity numbers is actually the result of **offshoring** the labor intensive workers. When you offshore a team of 50 leaving only 2 US managers, unless the offshore team are actually employees (most of the time they are not) - then the "productivity" shows up under the manager, somebody like me... in the US.
