Manufacturing has been shedding jobs for decades, and continues to do so. What manufacturing there is mostly gets done in Asia now. I live near Washington, DC. I understand there are a couple of factories in town, but I've never seen one. Most of our cars come from Japan these days. 95% of our bicycles are manufactured in China. Most of our clothing comes from China, elsewhere in Asia, or Central America. My Uncle had a machine shop in Massachusetts. He was a self-made man. He started poor and ended up with two buildings full of machinery. He was a rich man in a small town for years. They made everything, including machines to make metal watch bands, garbage cans, plastic Vaseline jars, etc. His business died a long time before he did.
