Had the same thought! :)

But, also, some of the charts should have been as a percentage of the total US population. Manufacturing is down way more than it appears. Public sector employment has to at least rise with population growth.

Things change and a world economy is upon us. One of the largest US companies and part of the 30 Dow Jones Industrial Average was United States Leather Company. Hear about it lately? Not too many buggy whip manufacturers either.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
