This is good news, but do remember that this factory will have far fewer jobs than one might expect -- these will be higher paying, higher skilled jobs, but far fewer.

As Automation increases, the comparative cheaper labor advantage disappears. Even China is losing manufacturing jobs.

Net, net, celebrate, but this is not going to deliver a lot of jobs -- we need to remember that

gonna fill a LOT of jobs building the factories and infrastructure if not long term inside positions

then again any is better then none

The issue of automation and offshoring have nothing to do with each other. A closed and leveled factory was not automated. Somewhere, probably in the 3rd world, a factory is making that same product.
