< Because in 1950, real goods production accounted for 37.3 percent of real GDP but in 1998 it accounted for 39.8 percent. In other words, manufacturing now accounts for a greater share of total economic output than it did when more than twice as many Americans (as a percentage of the total workforce) were engaged in it.
