How come us manufacturer output has gone up while we shed jobs then?
- dd36 8y agoHow is it measured?
- Camillo 8y agoBecause it's counted by the value of the finished products even if most of the actual manufacturing is done abroad.
- jjoonathan 8y agoOnly if you play with the numbers to make it appear that way. https://qz.com/1269172/the-epic-mistake-about-manufacturing-thats-cost-americans-millions-of-jobs/ https://qz.com/1269172/the-epic-mistake-about-manufacturing-...
- Latteland 8y agoOkay I read that. It basically says if you took away the computer industry growth the us grew at an anemic rate, like 0.2%. Or most of the growth was in one particular sector. I don't think they were arguing that the growth is somehow overinflated, just that it was focused on one sector. Does it matter that it was flat everywhere except in the computer field? I think there must be something more you are getting at.
