Factory Jobs Booming Like It's 1970s...
Well, it's the lying New York Times, of course, and drive-by repeater, Drudge.
The summer peak in 2019 was 12.905 million.
The summer peak in 2022 was 12.916 million, up . . . eleven thousand! Woo hoo!
Meanwhile in the 1970s, many MILLIONS more worked in manufacturing in the United States, and many millions more as a share of the population:
11.8% of the population in 1979 on average vs. just 4.9% in August 2022!
From the end of the story, lol:
Eight percent of the surveyed companies reported moving segments of their supply chain out of China to the United States in the past year, while another 16 percent had moved some operations to other countries. But 78 percent of the companies said they had not shifted any business away from China.
