31. No, the manufacturing is here, not the jobs

The US manufactures more today than it has at any point in history. It also grows more food than at any point in history. And every year it takes less and less jobs to do that. Growth of developing world economies isn't the reason. And the solution isn't "more manufacturing jobs", it's "better paying service industry jobs".
