This crap has to end. So you are saying offshoring has caused NO job loss in the USA? The production of 70,000 factories closed didn’t go overseas? How much MORE production would the USA have I those factories had not been outsourced? Hmmm? Hey Einstein answer the question.
I have never said that NO manufacturing jobs have been lost to off shoring. The studies I have seen find that for every manufacturing job “lost” to off shoring, eight have been “lost” to automation. We will never have the level of manufacturing employment we had before 1975, largely because of labor-saving technological change. Sure, we could pass a law mandating that everything we consume has to be produced in the US but, collectively, we would be much, much worse off.
