You're comparing tiny Switzerland to the United States? Now there's a
giggle for you. Besides, nearly half of the Swiss economy is based upon
manufacturing.

From the CIA World Factbook - Switzerland: services 69.1%, industry 26.3%,
agriculture 4.6% (1998)
Industries: machinery, chemicals, watches, textiles, precision instruments
Industrial production growth rate: 3.2% (2001)
