I disagree with that statement.

chicago fed disagrees with you

I never said output wasn't better per the number of people employeed in the "US". I stated that the many hundreds of thousands (or millions) of foreign workers now making sub-assemblies and sending them to the US for final assembly (i.e. MADE IN THE USA) skew the numbers. It's taking far more people to make the USA items than just the USA workers. Nowhere in the presentation (1st one) did I see anything about Mexican and other foreign workers making sub-assemblies for US manufacturing.

where do mexican sub assemblies fit into this? you disputed that the manufacturing base is larger and more productive than at any other point in history, i provided links to hard facts showing that it is, in fact, more productive and more efficient than ever. are you saying that, somehow, the mexican sub-assembly work is being counted in the US production stats?
