Just like any industry, it creates jobs OUTSIDE its own industry but are counted as new hires supporting it. Just as the automobile industry created a need for the tire industry or the airline industry creating a need for suitcases or extra taxi service to and fro..
Liberals usually have a bad habit of looking at thing’s when it comes to economics… as what has it done for me lately?
As for the first poster, people were dieing of food starvation in the 30’s from the great depression.
Now that it looks like we are headed into another Depression THANKS OBAMA for your unwise stimulesssss! But you sure are punishing those evil bankers eh? LOL

We were in Shanghai earlier this year, and the Chinese must be pleased that the US didn’t make a “go” of this industry as it forms a big part of their economy.

Perhaps they were counting the silkworms as employees.

If a 100 million dollar industry provides 1 million jobs – that means each worker on average earns $100 per year minus expenses. I don’t think $8 a month was a good wage even for 1936.
