China outsourcing jobs to America.

I think we're going to see this increase, with not only China but other countries,but not for the reasons he mentioned, "Heavy taxes and soaring labor costs at home," but likely due to increased tariffs that may be coming for imported goods... Also, U.S. companies that moved operations and jobs overseas are likely gonna feel the burn initially alright....Many years ago I hauled Spinach out of southeast CO, the Alamosa area if I recall correctly.....Those farms were all owned and run by the Japanese, but worked by Mexicans....

 

All my life I've been told that things like the economy are cyclical. If this is true with China outsourcing to America, could we be seeing the 2nd rise of "Made in America"?

 

I left heavy equipment manufacturing in early 2008. At that time the company was moving a production line to China. A supervisor who worked for me at the time has kept in touch over the years. He said when he went to China as part of the move, a higher up guy working on the move from the China side told him that he figured in eight or ten years, manufacturing was probably going to be moving from China back to the States. He said China was beginning to experience all of the things that drove jobs out of America, over regulation, labor unions, too many consumers trying to ride on the back of each producer, etc.

 

Karma comes full circle.
