We lost 6 million manufacturing jobs over the past decade.

Jobs is not the same as production. Many of the jobs are lost due to automation. If you bring manufacturing back to the US you’ll be “hiring” a lot more robuts than humans.

So? Manufacturing is not a jobs program. The output is what matters.

You might as well say we "de-agriculturized" because we automated farming.
