It doesn't answer your specific question about how much of some particular items we produce but it goes directly to my point that industrial production in the US has increased greatly over the years. It has not increased as fast as services. And industrial employment has dropped a lot as we have become more productive (producing more with fewer people), but it continues to grow. The idea that the US doesn't produce anything anymore is a myth. Even if you just count industrial production we produce more than any other nation in the world.
