Rigged needs to stop with this manufacturing nonsense. I consult for manufacturing companies and have worked in the business side of manufacturing for over 20 years, and I can tell you he doesn't know what he's talking about just spewing some stats he found that support his view. Fact is that right now there are tons of unfilled manufacturing jobs in the US because there aren't enough skilled Americans to fill them. People think of manufacturing as unskilled labor, but most of those jobs are highly skilled. You need to know how to use ERP software and potentially many other kinds of software and hardware, many jobs require APICS certification, etc.
I predicted this inability to find qualified workers for manufacturing jobs back when we were in the Great Recession. It has come to pass.
Bottom line...the US doesn't need more manufacturing jobs. We currently need more manufacturing workers. DESPITE Trump in office, the unemployment rate is super low...creating more jobs isn't the deal right now. Many manufacturing companies have had to resort to historically high levels of H-1B visas to get the workers they need.
