American manufacturing of computer equipment reached an all-time record high in July.
Given Apple's escalating success under the leadership of Jobs, especially in recent years, perhaps Apple and Jobs have already helped launch the renaissance of American manufacturing. And when we think of Steve Jobs, we should be sure to remember that at his core, he's an American manufacturing icon, genius and titan. As much as we hear the never-ending media narrative that "America doesn't make anything anymore," or that "American manufacturing just can't compete globally anymore," Apple's success clearly demonstrates that the narrative is false.
For example, Apple and its domestic competitors in the U.S. computer industry (Dell, H-P, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, Intel, etc.) are all world-leaders, and collectively produced more output last month than ever before in history (see chart above of the Federal Reserve's monthly production index for computer and peripheral equipment). And it's a remarkable fact that U.S. manufacturing output of computer equipment has doubled in less than six years since 2005, after doubling previously in just seven years. So much for the claim that "we don't make anything anymore."
Bottom Line: When we celebrate the genius of Steve Jobs and the success of Apple Computers, we should remember that we are also celebrating the success of American manufacturing. Simply put, Steve Jobs and Apple prove that American manufacturing is not dying, but is very much alive and well.
