In July, US employers announced plans to cut 85,117 jobs, up 43% from June. The job cut calls in July nation-wide were up by 5.1% from 80,966 in July 2002, according to a Chicago-based placement firm. Under President Bush, one in every seven US manufacturing jobs has vanished. Hit hardest is the US manufacturing sector where about 90% of the 2.7 million jobs lost since February 2001 have occurred. US manufacturing jobs have been disappearing at the rate of 75,000 a month for the last 34 months. US workers in manufacturing are now fewer in number than in the 1950s and the smallest share of the labor force since the early 1800s. This is the DE- industrialization of the United States. History shows that no nation has ever advanced towards empire while its industrial base contracted behind its armed forces. There is a huge US multi-dimensional debacle straight ahead - prepare for it
