> Manufacturing has gotten way more efficient since the 40s,

It's both yes or no for USA:

1. Fever businesses at all in the sector

2. USA has an extremely strong slant towards expensive capital goods, in very entrenchable industries: aerospace, defence, weapons, medical, industrial vehicles, and machinery

3. All of the above is increasingly made with imported, off the shelf parts

4. USA has "industrial" companies who manage to report giant manufacturing outputs in accounting statements, but known to not have a single running manufacturing plant.

I don't think its quite that extreme, but Boeing, car companies etc all extremely large amounts of subcontracting.
