The biggest companies in the world are in computers, oil, and autos. The biggest growing of those, who mostly weren't even around 40 years ago, are in computers and related high-tech industries. That is where the opportunities for economic expansion are both highest and easiest to find.

We aren't a byword for either, of the two, manufacturing and high tech one is steady and employs a crap load of well paid workers, the other is all market capitalisation with its actual production and related jobs being done in China
