Is it viable to bring a large number manufacturing jobs back to the US?

If not, what conditions would be needed to make it so?

Always want to point out that there is a lot of manufacturing in the US. And that manufacturing is broad. Think of it this way, when we perceive "manufacturing" we perceive small widgets in an assembly line. Manufacturing however can be broad, advanced, high tech, and touch on ton of different things from minerals to food production. 

With that being said again there is a lot of that already here. It's just advanced or higher end. We have commercial space and aerospace, lithium ion battery, and plenty of high end garment manufacturing throughout California. It's the lower end manufacturing that we do not have as much of, that went to abroad, and because people want to work in the higher end, which we have.

We had that lower end and we moved beyond it. The countries we now import products from from that lower end are trying to achieve the higher end we have and the diversity of manufacturing sectors that encompass it.
