DC never had much of any manufacturing, so it's not too surprising. I knew NYC would be low, though not that low. Part of it is historically a lot of blue collar jobs in NYC were related to wholesale trade and distribution, until very recently NYC had more port-related jobs than finance jobs. But those jobs wouldn't count under manufacturing.
