Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where the data set a record or moved most.

World Bank, World Development Indicators (CC BY 4.0): gross value added by sector as a share of GDP. The U.S. shares are Palanor’s calculation from BEA GDP by Industry, because the World Bank’s U.S. series stops in 2021. Manufacturing is part of industry.

The long shift of the world economy toward services, and manufacturing’s slowly shrinking share of global output.
