Compare and contrast to an NYT infographic (via Jon Taplin):

We may still be a manufacturing leader, but that's just because we build *lots* of weaponry.

um...
based on past experience... projecting out more than 5 years is usually nothing but educated guesses and/or lies.
Other than real demographic shifts, I've never seen a chart 5 years out that was remotely accurate 5 years later.
