Thanks for the link; I find myself more sympathetic to the corollary of your second metric, that we are at a 50 year low in industrial work, to be a viable explanation; though ill admit my surpise that trade defecits are lower than the early 2000s, that ill need to dig into more.

There are more workers employed in manufacturing in real terms now than 20 years ago as well. In a % of population basis that’s not true so maybe there is some effect on sentiment based on the % of people employed in that sector? I’ve not seen that put forth as a hypothesis anywhere but I’m certainly not an expert.
