Not much to be done about it, though. Manufacturing jobs go where they are cheap, and that is not here.

Not actually true. The main reason for the flight of manufacturing jobs overseas is simply increasing profit-to-capital ratios. It's really pathetically stupid.

The other reasons are related to labor, but it's more related to the treatment of workers than just their pay.

Manufacturing jobs go to places with successful industrial policies. In the US the term industrial policy has been a dirty word since the seventies. We've forgotten that national level economic growth requires national level buy-in and assistance.
