Be careful of those numbers - while the US isn't world leader in production, the US has continuously gone up in production, just that others have gone up even more. You don't see this because employment in manufacturing is way down, but production is still up. It no longer looks like we make anything, but the numbers show we make more than when we were world leaders.
