The return of manufacturing has been driven by falling US energy costs, which the media finds icky for some reason. Also, some are such true believers in "high-paying service jobs" that they didn't believe me when I posted that you'd prefer a manufacturing job over a service one. "$11/hr part-time vs. $15/hr full-time + some health insurance".

And if you're skilled, it gets better.
