For every one job lost in manufacturing since 1991, our economy has created five in better-paying service sectors, and one in government. That pattern was not just a phenomenon of the 1990s. During the Bush years of 2001-2008, two thirds of the net new jobs were also created in sectors that paid more than manufacturing.
