Do you have a source for this? In the past when I've been told this, the statistics referenced where based on whether a company was classified as being in in the manufacturing sector, not based on which jobs were classified as manufacturing. This included companies that were classified that way due to historical inertia, or based on their global industry but actually had little to no manufacturing in the US. Based on that I have a hard time knowing what to believe, and would love to be pointed to more accurate information.
