the better ratio is manu gap top manu sector
say uncle's manu-sec is 20% of NVA
at -2% gdp
its running 10% below balance now
10% more manu jobs ??? at 12 mill now maybe what ???
a million added jobs ???
peanuts
manusec contracted by 15% in jobs after the credit crunch
the dropping dollars manged to more or less stabilize the manu job force
for about 4 years b4 the crunch
then plop
my guess the implicit " 2 % target gap"
will put manusec in job stag mode for the time being
