Hi,

I quote this from the original post that started this thread:

Quote:

"The employment in the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy is now
approaching levels not seen in 40 years!!! Take a look at the chart
analysis for the U.S. manufacturing employment, unemployment rate,
capacity utilization, and housing starts at

  http://www.mktcycles.com/econdata.htm

and if they interest you then enjoy browsing the sample charts at

  http://www.mktcycles.com/index.htm

End Of quote.

Now what country do you suppose he is talking about? 

And what country do those charts describe?  The charts should be clearer 
than they are, since they refer to "national economic data" and don't 
specify the nation.  But I think I know.

Besides, the statement is probably not true as applied to the world as a 
whole: I bet world wide employment in manufacturing is higher now than it 
was in 1962.

Or perhaps you didn't read the original post very clearly?
