Perhaps a little good news won't kill us. Says a news release from the Department of Employment and Economic Development:
Manufactured exports set another record in the third quarter of 2008, growing 8.6 percent from the same period a year ago to $4.5 billion. It was the second straight quarter that state manufacturers broke the record for export sales.

Computers and electronics are the #1 export. Canada is the state's biggest trade partner.
