Retards

[Brandon Parker]

Reminder, if you really think the cause for the lost of jobs in the US Manufacturing sector is due to bad trade deals, you may be retarded.

If you think a board full of 24 year old white nationalists voted for Trump because he said he'd bring some factory jobs back to Indiana, you may be retarded.

[Dylan Torres]

Its not only about manufacturing, jobs are disappearing everywhere and I wonder whether something will be done about it.

[Tyler Moore]

This graph literally just shows that the Jews are offshoring manufacturing jobs to keep more wealth in their cabal.

[Nolan Walker]

Nice straw man
can't stop the forces of progress and automation
productivity is going to keep going up and up

[Andrew Baker]

this graph is wrong btw. If you don't believe me try sourcing it. Pro tip: you can't

[Matthew Murphy]

You're retarded dude that's domestic US manufacturing as the (((adjusted))) percent of real GDP

What?

What do you think that means?

Gee, that sure was a challenge, took me all 4 clicks.

Oh so saying that people on this board don't support Trump's view on the economy, when they do, isn't an argument you set up to be defeated?

Nice pdf, couldn't even find the graph in there. Found it here though brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/us-manufacturing-past-and-potential-future-baily-bosworth.pdf

World bank says that graph is wrong though. data.worldbank.org/indicator/NV.IND.MANF.ZS?locations=US

Your point is valid though. manufacturing as a share of employment has steadily decreased. fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2014/04/the-decline-of-manufacturing/?utm_source=series_page&utm_medium=related_content&utm_term=related_resources&utm_campaign=fredblog

I suppose I am being pedantic. It's just that manufacturing as a percent of GDP has also decreased.

You should note though that united states worker participation rate has dropped heavily in the last 10 years which also correlates with a drop in the absolute number of manufacturing employees. It could surly be argued that recent trade effects on our manufacturing sector are at least part to blame for the low participation rate.

I did....

[Anthony Clark]

>data.worldbank.org/indicator/NV.IND.MANF.ZS?locations=US

Yeah but just because you couldn't find doesn't mean its not in there

Also that's GDP, not real GDP

I'm also not saying that the trade deals we have entered into aren't contributing to the decline the manufacturing employment. I'm saying the major cause is due to the US firms investing heavily in automation, and the increasing output per labor unit, see

[Logan Mitchell]

what the data looks like to the same scale for %GDP

[Zachary Hill]

I don't want to go back and forth on the graph because it's irrelevant, but you should note that usually gdp refers to real gdp. It will specify nominal gdp if they wish to use that metric, but real gdp is so much more pervasive that it has become the generic term for gdp.

>I'm also not saying that the trade deals we have entered into aren't contributing to the decline the manufacturing employment
Your OP is disingenuous then. If trade deals were at least partly the cause of the current trade decline and destruction of rural white communities then fixing trade will bring back jobs into those communities.

Of course you are right about the long term trends of manufacturing (or low skill work in general). We will need socialism to prevent a humanitarian crisis. I actually support the tariffs because of the race to the bottom of tax environments. If we enact tariffs and remove free trade, it is much easier for us to enact higher taxes on our corporations. I cross the line between Sup Forums and /leftpol/ though, so your point may still be valid for many here.

[Lucas Johnson]

it's also a graph only over 10 years.

[Thomas Barnes]

Coal is is not coming back. It was an industry that nearly employed half the population of the US 100 years ago. It employs less than 4% now.

>due to (((bad trade))) deals

>multpl.com/us-gdp-per-capita
You may be right about most people using real GDP as just GDP, but if they don't give the year to which the GDP is adjusted to, I doubt its real GDP

The point of this post was to make it so the chart from the world bank didn't have a retarded scale which over exaggerated the decline

I also disagree with all of your /leftypol/ shit
Trying to move the US to export led growth is not a good idea
t. international trade course
