From 2000 to 2010 alone, 5.6 million jobs disappeared in the U.S. and Canada Only 13% of those jobs were lost due to international trade 85% of job losses, stemmed from productivity growth another way of saying machines replacing human workers. Over the last 20 years inflation-adjusted US manufacturing output has increased by almost 40%, and annual value added by US factories has reached a record $2.4 trillion While there are fewer jobs, more is getting done, creating a safer workplace, creating more margin for manufacturers to re-invest in new technology, equipment, employees.
