Netherlands seems a bit low since their exports are $900B. What is Netherlands exporting then? Or they have manufacturing better automated and the processes more optimized then the rest.
Not a good thing for Czech economy IMO. We’re building stuff for others that make most of the profits from the development. We’re also failing to invest properly into automation and other modern technologies. This is a good approach if we want to become Europe’s sweatshop, which is not a very good aspiration IMO
What does Luxemburg even manufacture?
Portugal – you know what.
But now it’s rather good 😛
In the other hand – Greece – true west
Classic, made in Czechia and sold by German brand for 100% markup.
It’d be interesting to have also the productivity of all that people and the percentage of the GDP

For sake of completeness: UK has 8 % employed in [manufacturing ](https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn05206/)
