The loss of manufacturing jobs troubles me a lot

Manufacturing is up. But since an American worker is so much more productive than a Chinese one, it takes less people. The higher tech a society gets, the less low level production jobs it does. It's natural for Steel jobs to migrate if our companies don't invest the capital to get enough production per worker to overcome lower level labor.
