Just because things don't get manufactured here anymore, doesn't mean things aren't manufactured.

Of course, but things ARE being manufactured here, and productivity is increasing, despite fewer jobs.

The contempt people have for manufacturing jobs, I'll never understand.

I don't understand those who have contempt for the jobs themsleves.

BUT I at least, have contempt for the politicians who use manufacturing jobs to justify more government (crony capitalism, increased trade regulations, forced unionozation, etc.).

In addition, I dislike when those jobs are used as some sole representation of "better times" with a focus on going back to that while dismissing the changing market.

I mean the most jobs the merrier, but I find it concerning that this is the sole focus, to a point where increasing government is argued as a justified means, while there the record number of unfilled jobs seems to he completely ignored.

I am with those that argue getting people jobs is vital, but it seems disingenuous to argue that but ignore all other sector of jobs. Focusing on both is great, but ignoring 5 million open jobs doesn't make sense.
