Manufacturing Jobs Did Not Disappear Overseas

For anyone who thinks the reason American manufacturing jobs have disappeared is because companies have "shipped jobs overseas" consider this inconvenient fact.

Since 1979, durable manufacturing output in the United States has increased 167% while employment in these industries has declined 37%.  Manufacturers are simply using technology to do more with fewer people. That has nothing to do with Mexico or China. In fact the same trend to producing more with less labor is going on in Mexico and China as well. 

Donald Trump, nor anyone else, is going to change this.
