Do you think that's a reasonable way to measure abd report manufacturing output?

Is laying our heads at the GDP idol's feet a reasonable measure of what these activities contribute to national welfare?

GDP is a pretty good measure of national incomes and, yes, I think income is a good number to look at if you're judging welfare.
