'"Fifty years ago, a third of U.S. employees worked in factories, making everything from clothing to lipstick to cars. Today, a little more than one-tenth of the nation's 131 million workers are employed by manufacturing firms. Four-fifths are in services." 'Sounds like millions of jobs to me.' You have failed to substantiate the second part of your claim - that of "no equivalent jobs to replace them." The fact that real wages have steadily risen over the period you cite, it seems to me, disproves your assertion.
