Answer 1

The short answer is that the US can't compete with the countries with the lower wages. This is why, given a neutral decision, companies will not choose to produce goods in the United States. This is why manufacturing job have declined at a rapid pace in the US. The manufacturing jobs that still exist do so because they are run by US countries that are sacrificing profits in the effort to keep pride that their goods are made in the US.
