That's true, but output has steadily grown over those years.

Which once again confirms the importance of the Technology Sector.
None of that would be possible without Micro-controllers, programmers, or PC's to run their compilers/ladder logic programs on.
And the micro-controllers operating sensors, using chemistry. The chemistry being better controlled by using new materials. The materials being better researched, using high-precision optics. The optics being more precise, using modern physics. Just a random walk around technologies.
Yes, computing technology has played a major role in helping us communicate our advances and better model the next iteration. However, it's myopic to regard it as the sole driver.
The data you cite is from 2009->2015 so it's just showing the recovery from the great recession. In reality Manufacturing hasn't created jobs since the 1970's.
>Healthcare
Their lobby wrote a bill and gave it to the GOP which ran it as Romney Care. Obama couldn't get anything passed so now we call it Obama Care. So yes legally requiring all people to have something does ensure more people buy that thing.
>Energy
Is having a turbulent time now that you can export US Oil/Gas. Renewables continue to grow at a steady pace tho.
