   Yesterday on NPR it was said that 75,000 textile jobs have
been lost in the last yr.

lost due to national and global recession? loss of jobs that would have been added if not for recession? lost due to automation? lost to specifically defensive automation in the face of imports? lost due to surge of imports?

how was this number arrived at? what is it an estimate of?

Total employment, from the BLS establishment survey (thousands)
