Well effective tax rates for individuals and corporations are at their lowest point in years so thats out. Regulations is a mixed bag.
To me it seems you are looking to qualify or discredit the news because it occurred during a Democrat's tenure... I guarantee you were nowhere near as critical of the growth during GWB's tenure. Look at how you pick the worst case scenario... "yea they might be jobs but they are shytty"... based on what????
Not to mention, shytty manufacturing jobs CAN'T come back, we don't have the economy to support them. It is all about high efficiency, high level automated work, which demands skilled labor, which demands way better working conditions than say, Foxconn
It is pretty corny how folks color everything through partisan lenses... your country's economy has a bright spot... why try to piss on it because it happened under someone "from the other side"? We are all Americans and in this mess together. Shame on you Sly

The old era manufacturing jobs are not coming back. There's not going to be a bunch of jobs where dudes are assembling toys on assembly lines like Peter Griffin. Manufacturing output is still strong, it's just more lean and automated. The jobs require more skills and education. That's why it's important that invest in education for the jobs of the future and a means to provide the proper training needed for them.

If someone out in Cambodia is making jeans for $5 a day (that is prob optimistic) how do you think we could support those jobs for $10-15/hr + benefits and all that? That shyt is dead. We make planes and cars and complex machinery, thats where the growth is. The only thing I wish we had here that we don't is manufacturing chips... but I think its good we don't, as I am pretty sure they abandon all environmental regs to make them cheaper elsewhere
There is a lot of work we aren't tapping into that is out there... work we have to fly and sneak immigrants in to do... because we are either not willing to learn the shyt to get qualified or we don't want to get our hands dirty

He's right. There's no economic imperative or incentive to mass produce toilet seats and dinner plates here anymore when corporations can pay someone in Thailand $1 an hour for it. Those jobs are not coming back. Adapt or perish.

:gladlebron:
what kind of manufacturing are you guys talking about though?
cars and shyt?
thats literally that scene from 8 mile......
*hands motor to machine*
*hands window to machine*
you can be a full fukking retard and do most of those jobs.
where i am they assemble planes, missile parts and sometimes windmills...a fukking 10 year old could handle those jobs, only thing is a 10 year old might not be able to lift over 50 pounds many times
the majority of those places hire drop outs from temp agencies
working at the rail yard putting the shyt on trains takes more education and skill than working at the plant rofl
id also rather have countries overseas making plates while we educate ourselves and innovate
