I was reading information from the US State Department web page and found this paragraph that might be interesting to the List: Commercial, Economic, and Financial Affairs. By helping American businesses abroad, the Department helps Americans at home, since every $1 billion in exported goods generates about 20,000 jobs in the United States. I wonder how many jobs would be generated if the US used metric domestically? greg [ http://www.state.gov/r/pa/rem/biocm/index.cfm?docid=436&clid=299 ] about 75% of the way through the document.
