That page focuses on manufacturing employment, not manufacturing. The fact that manufacturing employment went down during a recession is hardly a surprise. This started with your assertion that the US was in economic decline. "Our economic power is now in decline, as the record prices of gasoline give evidence. -- Carl " Message 19963531 "Yes, our economic power is now in decline. We're at the peak, this is as good as it gets. From here, it is downhill." Message 19968439 Now you show me that manufacturing employment went down during a recession. One thing hardly equals the other. Manufacturing employment does not equal manufacturing which does not equal "the economy". Also neither the current "modest recovery", nor the long term growth trend in both the economy as a whole and specificaly in manufacturing is a decline. Tim
