I doubt those jobs will come back as long as unions have a stranglehold on the economy here. Why would any company pay $20 an hour to an employee here when the same job can be done in other countries for mere pennies an hour? And then there are the Cadillac health care plans and pensions funded by these companies. Companies don't have to pay for those in most other countries.

And them there is all that micromanagement by government. Rules and regulations that are impossible to comply with and cost a fortune to implement. No EPA in other countries.

Plus I'm sure Obamacare will also kill jobs here or send them overseas.

If the unions weren't so greedy and government would get out of the way, business would thrive and there would be jobs.

Unions do NOT have strangle hold on the economy. Less than 7% of the private sector workforce is unionized. The manufacturing sector is slightly higher at 10%. Hardly a stranglehold. Link here to BLS table.
