Box 2-2: What Is Manufacturing?

The value of the output of the U.S. manufacturing sector as
defined in official U.S. statistics is larger than the economies of
all but a handful of other countries. The definition of a
manufactured product, however, is not straightforward. When a
fast-food restaurant sells a hamburger, for example, is it providing
a "service" or is it combining inputs to "manufacture" a product?

The official definition of manufacturing comes from the Census
Bureau's North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS.
NAICS classifies all business establishments in the United States
into categories based on how their output is produced. One such
category is "manufacturing." NAICS classifies an establishment as
in the manufacturing sector if it is "engaged in the mechanical,
physical, or chemical transformation of materials, substances, or
components into new products."

This definition is somewhat unspecific, as the Census Bureau has
recognized: "The boundaries of manufacturing and other sectors… can
be somewhat blurry." Some (perhaps surprising) examples of
manufacturers listed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics are:
bakeries, candy stores, custom tailors, milk bottling and
pasteurizing, fresh fish packaging (oyster shucking, fish
filleting), and tire retreading. Sometimes, seemingly subtle
differences can determine whether an industry is classified as
manufacturing. For example, mixing water and concentrate to produce
soft drinks is classified as manufacturing. However, if that
activity is performed at a snack bar, it is considered a service.

1. Can't create real jobs?

JUST RENAME THEM!

2. I know

Yeah, I saw them talking about this.

If they change the service jobs to "manufacturing jobs" then Bush will have way exceeded his so-called "predictions" of the great job his tax cuts and shipping jobs out of the country has helped this country. I guess we are not only back to "fuzzy math" but, also, "fuzzy facts."

3. SAMNOW

I am a member of a Save American Manufacturing jobs yahoo group and I posted this too. It is an insult to insinuate that putting a pre-made cheese burger in a microwave is comparible to producing a plastic injection mold for an artificial heart are the same thing.

4. All I want to know is:

Can they unionize?

Not bloody likely :eyes:.

5. I myself once "manufactured" a baby!

Once again I want to suggest that giving birth be renamed as a "manufacturing" job. It, like the WH says involves "inputs" combined to produce a product...well, I took that "input" from my husband, combined it with other materials I had on hand and manufactured a baby.

Ergo: I'm employed in manufacturing.
My husband is a "job creator"


(thank you, thank you very much! I'll be appearing here all week!)

8. "McManufacturers" would lose employees

I've read about the reclassification idea but not one word about it's implication on child labor.

Federal law doesn't allow 14-15 year old people to work manufacturing jobs.
