During that period of recovery a special program to restore U.S. competitiveness across all U.S. industries, [[Project Socrates]], contributed to employment growth as the U.S. aerospace industry captured 72 percent of world aerospace market. By 1999 U.S. share of the world market fell to 52 percent.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
