Infographic of the Day: The US as Manufacturing Leader

by Ben Lorica | @dliman | comments: 3

The U.S. remains the world's largest manufacturer, but with growth projected to be flat, China is poised to overtake it by 2015. In 2007 the U.S. accounted for 20% of manufacturing, China had 12%.

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.

I am not sure whether it is a good news to China.
