This article summarizes the research on manufacturing that has been on the upswing in the US. It is being done in the US to take advantage of lower energy costs, shipping expense etc. It won't produce the number of jobs that it did before, but each manufacturing job is worth 1.48 jobs because of related activities that support the manufacture. At least two years of high tech training are required for jobs on the shop floor. The manufacturing of the future will not be a source of jobs for low skilled workers. They also account for 30% of productivity growth.
