Manufacturing Sector: Real Output

wonder what they are including for the "output". we don't make much of anything anymore in regard to tv's, appliances, cars are all over the map in mexico and canada but still seems to be the last we're producing of big ticket items.

Keeping with the steel theme we produce 81 million tons as opposed to the 26 million we import

Steel production figures United States 2017 | Statistic

outside 2009 sucking non-steel balls, we've been on a decline since 2006 and starting to "tick back up" in 2017. we'll see how the trending continues.

Yes we have been, but we still produce in the neighborhood of 75 to 80 percent of the steel we use. That is not the picture being painted by the people pushing tariffs

so few tell the truth to get what they want.

Some third world countries are moving away from those industries and the dumb asses wants to go back to them.

We'll be glad to take all the jobs they want to give us.

Go get education. Why you wanna do hard labor for a small change?

Who said I did? But only a leftist would believe that bringing jobs back to America is a bad idea. Now if we can just get rid of the foreigners who are keeping our wages down, America will be great again.

The US always had foreigners since its creation, and that's what made it different.

Not 11 million or more illegal ones. A few won't lower American wages; millions do.

Dude most Americans can' and won't do most of the jobs that illegals do. I see it first hand on daily basis....most beggers in my city if not all are healthy white males.

Maybe you should get a job and just panhandle in your spare time.

Steel jobs? Coal jobs? The cons love 18th century era, don't they?

What are you going to build cars, buildings & bridges out of? Playdoe?

Stupid fucking leftists

We know bringing quality jobs back to American Citizens doesn't excite Democrats. It's all about placating Non-Citizens for them now. But for most others, this is great news.

Go Trump!

Ever since the layoffs a few years ago, many residents here had wondered when the local steel plant would again fire up its furnaces—or close forever.

Not only were hundreds of steelworkers left jobless when United States Steel Corp. X -1.49% scaled down its operations in Granite City, Ill., in 2015, but lunch deliveries to the plant vanished for a local diner while a shoe store’s work-boot sales plummeted. At least 26 businesses closed within a year, according to an area chamber of commerce.

“We were in a deep state of depression here, and not sure if it would ever open again,” said Mayor Ed Hagnauer, who was first elected in 2005.

Suddenly things are looking up for Granite City, an industrial town with a population of about 30,000 across the Mississippi River from St. Louis...

I live a stones throw from Granite City, trust me it will take more than 500 folks going back to work for a little while to bring it back to life.

Any more sour grapes you wish to share Mr. negativity?

That stupid moron is typical of the left. Damn but they have their heads up their ass, secure in their government jobs they give two shits about blue collar workers.

FALSE. Americans used to do home construction, drywall and roofing, some went on to become home builders after learning the trades.

It boggles my mind that they hate on these kinds of jobs. My job is back breaking like those jobs. The thing is those jobs make the lives of others better. They typically pay good and provide for a good future for the families who otherwise might get left behind. Many children were put through school thanks to the sacrifices their parents made doing hard labor jobs.

Those jobs pay their government salaries. When you look at a Dem state after they destroy their private sector businesses with taxes and regulations, they stand around in shock after being told there's no money left to fund their government pensions.

Thank you! I started out picking cabbage on a farm for $2 an hour in the hot sun. Hence my worth ethic and motivation to better myself.

Is that why California is the 5th biggest economy in the world? Why do we have thousands of corporations? Those dumb asses should go to Alabama or Tennessee to flourish...NOT!!!

Instead of going backwards, how about we try adapting our work force to new industries?

Sure thing, dumbass.....except we were told we could all become computer programmers/software engineers for the last 20 years....how did that work out?

So why bother right? you didn't learn how to be a quitter in the USMC....or did you?

Are you mistaking your hopes for reality? Predictions for fact?

We were? I’ve never been told that. Nobody in my high school told us that. Nobody in college did either
