OK, so what are the percentages.Percentage wise, dumbass.I have no idea what you are talking about. The US has a population of over 320 million. Germany has 80 million. But their manufacturing is twice that of the US? How does that work?Then explain why Germany has more than TWICE the level of US manufacturing employment.
Before I retired, I worked for a company that had a sister company in Germany. Eventually, they moved all production entirely to this country. But the engineers for the German Product line stayed in Germany. Do you know why? And for how long?
So what ever you say about German manufacturing, make it good. I have some experience. I know the basics of German law concerning employment and unemployment and how it's different than here. So go ahead. Make my day.
The percentages are that Germany has TWICE the percentage of manufacturing employment than we do.
In the same global economy with the same automation technology that you cited.
How do they do that?
Why using their brains. In Germany it's called education, in the US it's called "indoctrination".
Debunked by the WTO ruling which demonstrated that german manufacturers can't compete fairly against American manufacturers.
