Automation is taking manufacturing jobs away around the world. You can bring back the manufacturing but the jobs will stay gone.

Even highly automated plants employ a lot of people.

Not compared to what they employed before. During the 2000’s global manufacturing employment dropped 25%, and automation has advanced a lot since then. We simply don’t need people to make stuff anymore.
