If we had 50 Million more people competing for the last few remaining jobs still in the USA, there would probably be open warfare. Unfortunately, all the good start up jobs once in this country are now overseas. Whole factories uprooted and reassembled over there. No white collar jobs left except for marketing, possibly until they get that also. So what is left? Consulting. Everyone will become consultants and offer their services to those who remain here with the small businesses which were not folded up. Too bad this isn’t the “Soylant Nation”. That would solve everything./s
Both of my family's cars (foreign brands, too) were assembled in the United States.
There are factories still here in the United States, however, their manufacturing processes are more heavily dependent on technology and automation rather than on on direct human labor, since human labor is expensive in the U.S. relative to places like China, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc. The problem is that in order to operate such technologies, one must have a solid grounding in basic math, reading, writing, etc. Unfortunately, the U.S. K-12 and higher education systems have focused far too much on pumping out individuals with mere credentials (diplomas, degrees) not necessarily backed by actual skills, and now many Americans are learning a rather nasty lesson: one's credentials matter naught if there's nothing of substance behind them.
