4. This myth will not die

Manufacturing is hamburgers (according to bush* ) ?!?

No. It isn't.

Yes it was discussed - in 2004 - but lots of discussions are never followed by implementation and NAICS codes do not include burger flipping or anything of the like as manufacturing.

Here is the relevant code 722 which as we can see specifies fast food among others, and is under the services sector

Here is the closest thing in the manufacturing sector - Food mfg 311 - which is centered around raw material processors such as bakeries. The job count compared to the first code is tiny and it's clear that absent a few boutique specialty stores this is centered on wholesale processors and in no way includes mass market QSR's.
