In any case, there are service jobs associated with manufacturing, from
building and maintaining plants to supplying power, to transporting raw
materials, and there are service jobs associated with the finished
products,
which, supposedly, would be the same no matter where the product comes
from.

I don't think there are any reliable figures that break the two down. At
least, no one in Commerce seems to know of any.

Oh, I should have completed that idea: No matter what the breakdown is, it's
clear that you create more service jobs by manufacturing a product and
selling it in the same country, than you do by importing the same product.
If you both manufacture and sell, you add both types of service jobs to the
equation.
