Hay varias razones por las que muchos estadounidenses no aceptan los empleos disponibles en el sector manufacturero, a pesar de la alta demanda:
Muchos empleos en el sector manufacturero moderno requieren habilidades especializadas, como operar maquinaria avanzada o trabajar con automatización. Algunos puestos incluso exigen títulos universitarios en ingeniería o investigación y desarrollo, lo que dificulta el acceso al sector a trabajadores sin estas cualificaciones.
Históricamente, los empleos en el sector manufacturero se han asociado con un trabajo físicamente exigente en entornos fabriles. Algunos trabajadores pueden considerar estos puestos obsoletos o menos atractivos en comparación con las carreras en tecnología o servicios.
Si bien algunos empleos en el sector manufacturero ofrecen salarios competitivos, otros pueden no ofrecer salarios o beneficios lo suficientemente atractivos como para competir con otras industrias.
El trabajador manufacturero promedio es mayor y muchos se están jubilando. El sector está luchando por reemplazarlos con trabajadores más jóvenes que podrían preferir carreras en otros campos.
Puede llevar años capacitar a los trabajadores para funciones de fabricación especializadas y las empresas a menudo tienen dificultades para encontrar candidatos con la experiencia adecuada.
China has an authoritarian government that is outside the control of capital. It implements long term economic policies that strengthens industry while simultaneously raising the standard of living for its citizens. Its foreign policy is not expansionist, but is cooperativist. Its central bank is controlled by the government, which limits the damage of speculators. It balances protection of its industry and labor with sensible trade policies. It also balances capital controls with entrepreneurship. It spends a fraction of its budget on military spending that the United States does because it doesn’t need to enforce a rentier hegemonic currency.
We sent millions of jobs and manufacturing jobs overseas over 50 years and it was a folly but convenient in the sense we didn’t have enough workers or skilled workers. – trying to bring it back in 1 year is a catastrophe and will cause severe disruption and chaos in US – US has lost most skills
when I heard talks of negotiations regarding tariffs between the U.S. and China, because I thought the whole point of tariffs was to bring back manufacturing. When negotiations were brought up, it started to seem like the point of tariffs against China was to get them to do something else. When things like this happen, I start to question whether I am missing something, and it makes me feel uninformed.
It’s important to realize that the USA mainly had this big industrial sector after WW2 because much of the developed world had been smashed by war. As they rebuilt, they needed American industry less and less over the next 3 decades.
We’re not ready because our systems, specifically in our warehouses, are outdated, disconnected, and dangerously slow to adapt. I’ve seen it firsthand. Across facilities large and small, we’re still operating like it’s 2005: Over 80% of warehouses lack any form of automation.
The fact is that the US DOESN”T HAVE THE NECESSARY WORKFORCE. I’m not even referring to the quantity of workers with the right skills (though, we don’t have those, either). In late 2024, the conservative libertarian think tank – The Cato Institute – released the findings of a study done that year. What they found out was that while 80% of working Americans thought reshoring manufacturing was a great idea, only 20% said they were willing to leave their current jobs to work in manufacturing. (20% of just 80%.) Deduct from this number the those who are physically unfit, insufficiently educated, untrained, unable to adjust to typical 3-shift production schedules, or find that the work is uninteresting or unbearable. Oh, yeah…that same study showed that for the past DECADE, there have been AT LEAST 300,000 UNFILLED factory jobs in the US every YEAR! By May 2024, that number stood at 600,00. As an American who has spent a couple of years in China on business and has even toured the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen where the iPhone is produced, I’ve got some bad news for my MAGA friends: Chinese factory workers are DAMNED GOOD. Yeah…some are straight out of the field of the rural provinces, but a hell of a lot of them are graduated at the top of the high school classes or trade school. A surprising number have college degrees. In the top factories, they are rigorously tested and screened and only the smartest and fittest are chosen. Even then, they are monitored constantly and subjected to a relentless pace for 10 hours…12 hours…or longer. They are often subjected to exit searches that make anything from the TSA look like nothing! Breaks are short and infrequent. Even bathroom breaks are timed…and if you are consistently lagging in your output or excessive in your rejects, your a$$ is outta there! So, am I saying that the average American blue-collar worker isn’t up to that sort of job?? YOU’RE DAMNED RIGHT I AM! This idiotic fantasy has got to end. The average MAGA supporter has never traveled abroad, read academic papers, or even watched documentaries and news reports that aren’t spoon fed to them by ultra-right-wing media, or from hucksters like Trump. You’re clueless. BUT here is a SERIOUS idea give you honest answers. 1) Go to your unions and demand that they appoint a small team of investigators (including current line workers) to travel to China and/or Vietnam to tour real factories there. 2) Have them arrange sponsored tours with the various manufacturers of different products. (Believe me, they WILL be happy to show these operations to American workers.) 3) Go there, spend at least a couple of weeks, and don’t forget to tour the neighborhoods where the factory workers live. 4) Come back and prepare an honest, street-legal report for the union members. THAT will be the beginning of your real knowledge. You’ll immediately see how right-wing media and right-wing politicians are leaving out a lot of information…and in many cases just lying their a$$es off. Considering that an investigation like this will cost just a few tens of thousands of dollars, I think that would be more than worth it to see for yourselves Consider it.
The education in China is excellent compared to this country and he has made it worse by closing the department of education, keeping the population uneducated doesn’t improve the economy in fact he has made it worse. And Trump wants to dismantle the Department of Education. We are going down.
When regulations flip-flop every 5 to 6 years, it prevents big businesses from setting up an effective operational foundation. For example, building a factory can take 3/4 years, sourcing materials may take another year, and training personnel can take at least 1 year to become effective. So constant regulatory changes make it impossible for them to set things up properly.
You cannot survive at all if the ship from China does not dock in any of your ports at least 3 times in a year. Have you seen the shelves of Walmart? China is an EXPORT economy, very less consumption
Pointing out how Trump dismantled EV policies highlights how political bias can undermine investor confidence. Instead of building on EV policies to support reindustrialization, he chose to reverse course, making long-term investment decisions even more uncertain.
reindustrializing the U.S. is simply not feasible in the medium term. America would need to rebuild its entire industrial support infrastructure. U.S.-made goods are far too expensive to compete globally, and even if factories return, they’ll be heavily automated with AI and robotics — meaning low-skill workers won’t benefit much, nor will it create many new jobs. Worst of all is the deregulation culture, which undermines business confidence. Companies may need 5 years to invest in production facilities, but U.S. presidential terms are only 4 years, and nothing guarantees policy continuity. A clear example: Biden’s EV policies were immediately dismantled when Trump returned to office.
I experienced the downfall of manufacturing in NC during the early 2000s, and it was REALLY SAD driving around and seeing these manufacturing buildings sitting empty after many years of hustle and bustle. The motive was simple: Better and cheaper products were coming from overseas.
Global supply chains are essential for the modern economy because they enable businesses to source materials, manufacture products, and distribute goods efficiently across borders.

No recovery after Trump. Or at least is going to take time…

Why did Trump have to say China closed factories because of his tariff last month? Does he really want to play this game as a liar?
Tariffs are wrecking America.

With Trump in office, Bribery is basically legal in the US
The Trump regime does have an industrial policy. It’s giving certain sectors billions for stock buybacks without any restrictions or qualifications.
Thanks to US people because they elected a sociopath
Yes, we are facing the consequences now
And it’ll take a long time to fx this mess.

the tariffs are not working
There 500,000 jobs in the industry that cannot be filled because American don’t want to work those jobs. Trump is ignorant.
Trump is fucking up our country
And it’ll take a long time to rebuild it
Realistically, we don’t have people with skills to do that because this new world is the world of computers and machines that do the jobs.

¿Quiere decir que EEUU está en un callejón sin salida ?
means Trump doesn’t understand how the world works.
There is a reason why there is a chain supply.
He wants America today as America 1940
Global supply chains are essential for the modern economy because they enable businesses to source materials, manufacture products, and distribute goods efficiently across borders.
He knows nothing
