The electronics industry, gone to China, but before that japan then Taiwan.

Computers, China

The textile industry, gone to India and Bangladesh with props to eastern Europe for suits and fancy dresses.

The furniture industry, going going maybe gone real soon to China, Brazil, anywhere there is cheap labor and wood. America loves it some Ikea, but quality furniture, hah, nobody cares.

Steel, cheap is king, we send scrap to China, they dump finished steel here

Medicines, China

Power tools, China

Help Desk jobs, India and Brazil

Even our breweries are no longer Domestically owned. How soon before they close?


The Domestic auto industry, crippled by unfair trade practices and a compliant Government only interested in 'free trade' not fair trade. How soon before we find a way to eliminate those jobs?


it will get worse long before it gets better. When manufacturing is gone, what are you all going to do, develop websites?
