Made in the USA

American is still the world leader in:

Biotech ... Molecular biology, DNA sequencing technology
Venture capital.... Ctrs in San Fran and Boston
Bleeding edge Software
Computer and Cell Phone design & software (Apple in Cupertino, CA)
Fine woodworking... Arts & Crafts/Craftsman Furniture (Thomas Moser) (Stickney) and several others

Our graduate schools are still the best in the world BUT more about 1/2 of the students are from other countries in the medical sciences


We have given up the manufacturing lead of consumer goods and machinery to places with lower cost structure.. sad but true

I've worked with several companies that do leading edge robotics and injection molding in the USA, but if it's not FDA requlated, they send the older generation molding machines over seas and then get a few hundred people to do visual inspections and remediation manually.

I have a neighbor that sells industrial vacuum systems. Most of his work is gone from Mexico, too expensive and is now in Vietnam and China as it was even too costly to stay in Mexico for companies when the could get others to work for dollars a day elsewhere.
