As we make more thing here in the US the top-tier employees will be more in demand and will be able to earn more money for their skills. As these people move up the ladder, other will get promotions and intern earn more money as well.
And what about those businesses and their employees who lose their jobs because their industries are hurt by a tariff. We are already hearing squawks about this.
Those advocating tariffs NEVER consider the negative consequences. Its all gravy.
When I was a kid growing up in the Mission District of SF, there were factories sprinkled all throughout the neighborhood. There was a broom factory two blocks from my home, I passed it every day while walking to elementary school. Factories hummed while workers manufactured goods. Railroad tracks criss-crossed the Mission District with freight trains picking up and delivering goods. Those factories and tracks are long gone. As a 16-year-old teen I began working part-time at a sign company near my high school. All the materials were USA origin, and I picked up skills with machine equipment, gas torches and chemical processing. I worked my way through college working at several different shops. Even though I ended up as a suit at desk jobs, the knowledge and skills I learned from blue-collar work helped me throughout life.
Sadly, I look at the younger generation and see kids who had no exposure to machine skills and manufacturing. They're dumb (even with higher I.Q). They have no skills with their hands and many are pretty much useless around a house. All they have is the service sector, working as paper pushers or store clerks. Not all; I've worked at TechShop (now closed in the USA, reopened as TheShop.Build in SF) and seen many young people learning equipment skills . This is what President Trump is trying to change, to make America great again by bringing skills back here to the USA. More power to him!
