Sounds like more 'bull' to me!

Subject: [HP3000-L] OT: Job Growth in the MFG Sector


According to The Economic Report of the President available for download
at: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/download.html

some jobs that had been classified as "Service Sector" jobs have now
been reclassified as "Manufacturing Sector Jobs." The official
definition of manufactured goods is, "the mechanical, physical or
chemical transformation of materials into new products." The report says
that since heating ground beef produces a chemical change the production
of a Big Mac, Whooper or FatBurger is a manufacturing job not a service
job. In fact the assembly of any sandwiches is no different than the
assembly of circuit boards. After all both processes start off with a
pile of raw materials that are assembled into a finished product.

So next time you look for a job as an IT professional do not sell
yourself short.  You assembled the code, changed the disc structure and
produced reports. You are a manufacturer. Say it with pride, "I
manufacture information." It'll bring tears to your eyes; I know it
brings'em to mine.

I am so glad that all of those Know-it-Alls were wrong about losing
manufacturing jobs overseas. Who said people in the manufacturing sector
had to wear hard hats and not paper hats? It sorta makes ya proud to
have lived to see it, don't it!

Pray for Peace,
Yosef
