The U.S. deficit in manufacturing trade increased 158.5% between 1994 and 2000, and the manufacturing sector was responsible for the vast majority of all job losses: 1 .9 million jobs lost in manufacturing compared with 3.0 million overall jobs lost between 1 994 and 2000, or 65% of all losses. Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries lost nearly 116700 jobs. On a per capita basis, workers in these primary product sectors were about twice as likely to suffer a job loss as someone employed elsewhere in the economy.

The main idea of the paragraph

Between 1994 and 2000, 65% of the job losses happened in the manufacturing sector, and another 6% in agriculture, forestry, and fishery, making those who work in these primary product sectors about twice as likely to suffer a job loss as someone employed in other sectors.

从1994到2000年间，就业机会损失的百分之六十五发生在制造业，另外的百分之六发生在农、林和渔业，这使得在初级产品制造行业工作的工人与其他行业工作的工人相比，其失业的几率要多一倍。
