With so many people unemployed, many of them engineers and financial services people, it stands to reason that _some_ of them would have, by now, taken their expertise and started a domestic business.

About all you can do these days is buy yourself a job, either making something or providing some service that cant be exported. But you need to have no employees, use nothing that could be classified as a chemical, be located remotely and use as little water and energy as possible in the process.
