American Manufacturing - Did You Know?

A look at the state of the manufacturing industry in the United States. As seen at the Second Annual "Conference on the Renaissance of American Manufacturing: Jobs, Trade and the Presidential Election" on March 27, 2012.

Best video I have ever seen. The Real Solution is Advanced Industrial Ecosystems to increase our Industry (Manufacturing) to 35% of GDP. Keep the 5% for all the loss we had. Plus do not just copy all the manufacturing that went to Asia but produce massive new products like Tesla big time.

Also do not worry about our planetary death and demise in the next 200 years…due to climate change…we can prepare for that too…

Latest: USA 9% while China at 43%...time to change this...This was posted a year ago and still no one except one person liked it...that is amazing...

this makes me cry. It should make every person in America cry. There is simply no way to describe how sad these statistics are.

More people need to see videos like this. American (and Canadian) economic elites wanted to bust unions and lower wages and bring in more inequality. They got their wish.

GT, I would suggest you read the Federalist Papers. This was the public debate between Publius [Hamilton, Madison and Jay] and CATO that defined what the Constitution means and does in no uncertain terms.

Next, would be The Report on Manufactures, published shortly after.

"to the subject of Manufactures; and particularly to
the means of promoting such as will tend to render the United
States, independent on foreign nations, for military and other
essential supplies."

Both are free.

You talk about percentage, but the manufacturing amount double in the u.S. for the last three decade. The manufacturing amount doubled, but the employment has not increased because of automation.

we all have to do a little, in order to have a prospect nation. together will make the difference

You know that there's a enormous problem when a big box retailer employs more people than any company in America!

[jrusselison]

Misleading ad but I do agree that manufacturing your country’s own products then export is essential 😃

[MersageSW]

The USA's largest export is USDs. That is what we manufacture now.

During ww1, Germany was the innovator in the world. It had the best manufacturing sector in the world

[chasermty]

the wages are too high in the US, when compared to other countries that can hire engineers for 3USD per hr and with fair Quality.

Me.Trump is the man that would do the job that needs to be done in the office that no politician could ever do. Bring back American manufacturing and let's MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!1

[GTcatholic]

How about the government stops interfering with the market. How about the government follows the constitution. How about getting rid of government regulations. Why not experience a free market?

[Luis-ngfb]

Watching this in 2018 now that you guys have Trump

So, I can go to any foreign government and tell them I want to open a plant in their country. They open their doors and give me everything I need. Can someone show me that door in the U.S.? I need open a plant in New York.

[hippie]

so for about every 110, 000 in foreign good bought we lose a job which ears that amount in 3 years, so for every 3 hyundais bought we lose 3 years of one americans' gdp contribution.

[zachcherone]

I saw a really good documentary about American manufacturing called "American Made Movie". Check it out!

[truthmatters]

If we stop speeding $600B for military, we can invest that to the manufacturing every years for the last 30 years. $600B military cost is more than China, Japan, Russia, Australia, England, France, and all other nations combined.

Good video, however, we are going to put all efforts in money, while we pollute and destroy the environment. No money can give us another place to live. Also, people in manufacturing countries, do not have fair pay. They are abused and treated as slaves and live in terrible conditions. Why do we have many Chinese immigrants? because of how they are treated in their home country. India is polluted because of the manufacturing results. The US​ needs to keep the looks and while we preach on saving the environment here, we pollute other countries.
