I’ve been reading a lot about the future of U.S. manufacturing. With automation becoming more common, is it possible to bring back the jobs lost to other countries? Or will the U.S. continue to lose manufacturing to cheaper labor markets?

Automation can indeed help boost U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, but it may not necessarily bring back all the lost jobs. Upskilling the workforce and investing in innovation are crucial for the industry's future growth. Balancing automation with job creation strategies is key to addressing the challenges posed by cheaper labor markets.
