The US is the 3rd largest manufacturer in the world, behind China and Germany. Wayyyyy behind China but, like, everyone is, at least when it comes to manufacturing. We're also the number one exporter of food, and hold a few other top production laurels. Not the top producer, not the top consumer -- that's China -- but the top over-all exporter.[1] As the above comment mentioned: most of that work is highly industrialized and automated. Less than 1% of the US is farmers but they produce enough to make US food exports #1. Much of the same is true for US manufacturing.
