Only half, over 50 years? That would imply less than 1.5% productivity growth rate on average, pretty sure it's been higher than that!

To be fair, I'm having trouble thinking of many examples of factories that might even be comparable. Auto and auto parts, obviously, are still big. But then I can't come in and say "tires" (included in the previous). What's even left?

There's a number of factories around me. They make things like:
Semiconductors
Telecommunications equipment
Elevator/Lift equipment
Agricultural equipment/trailers
Aeronautical parts (both mechanical and electronic/sensor)
Planes
Helicopters
Printing services
Nutrition supplements
Cars
Just a few off the top of my head.
These all seem to be growing a lot, as I see a lot of new buildings all the time. Many of these are definitely for domestic consumption, I'll grant you that.
