Your last statement shows how little you know...
Farming is bigger than it's ever been, same for manufacturing. Your confusing "little ticket" with "big ticket". The US is mainly a "big ticket" manufacturer now. We are the dominant infrastructure manufacturer of the world (power grids and such). GE is the only top ten corp from 100yrs ago that still exists and they're bigger than ever.
Granted most of it is automated now so we don't need the unskilled "lug nut twisters" that we once did, they now spend their time suing businesses and leaching off the government teat. (oh, and breeding like rats)
