Our economy is actually not industrial - we offer services, which are our comparative advantages. We speak English (which is almost universal throughout the world), have a growing information workforce, and are relying less on production.

Highly educated and technical labor, although that may not remain for long in some sectors.
Entertainment.
Defense.
Agriculture (although it doesn't seem like it because we are so incredibly efficient that we don't need many laborers there - put it this way, the safest and cheapest and most reliable food comes from the U.S.)
Medical care - why else do foreign doctors come here to work, study and train?

I'm afraid our advantage lies mostly in Research and Development. We studied it to some extent in my International Business class in college. The US is not a manufacturing company.
