Good for Wisconsin but why is this in the politics thread, Amazon is hiring 50,000 in one day. These threads should be in with the employment and jobs thread.

I'll answer question.

High tech manufacturing being brought to America due to Trump's policies.

Try to give Trump credit for anything positive and the Trump Deranged go to DEFCON1 in attempt discredit it by any means possible. False controversy is created. Hence it is in controversy section..

You attempted it here. Amazon part time warehouse jockey jobs /= high tech manufacturing.

Will it work? If Foxconn is allowed to hire a work force that will work efficiently. If the Democrats step in and force them to hire the United Nations and the flavor of the month they should save their money and build it in China.

"Reshoring" has been growing for some time. Trump was not a factor.

"Sixty thousand manufacturing jobs were added in the U.S. in 2014, versus 12,000 in 2003, either through so-called reshoring, in which American companies bring jobs back to the U.S., or foreign direct investment, in which foreign companies move production to the U.S., according to a study from the Reshoring Initiative. In contrast, as many as 50,000 jobs were “offshored†last year, a decline from about 150,000 in 2003."

Record number of manufacturing jobs returning to America - MarketWatch

Manufacturers bringing the most jobs back to America

"Manufacturers like Hessaire are part of a growing move to “re-shore†manufacturing jobs that were once lost to countries such as China and Mexico. The Reshoring Initiative, a group that focuses on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., estimates that between 2009 and 2016 more than 250,000 jobs were created or brought to the U.S. from other countries."

Trump was absolutely a factor. Foxconn said so.

Which policies might that be, as far as I know he hasn't passed any legislation.


Well over half of those jobs are full time and Amazon is high tech but I get it, Amazon jobs are all just manual low end jobs but Foxconn are the best high tech jobs ever. But unless you can point to a specific reason why the companies made the decision I don't give Trump credit. Most companies make these decisions years in advance, I'm not giving anyone credit but the companies.

High tech jobs will need smart people to fill them. H1B to the rescue.

A company like this doesn't make such a decision in 6 months. Takes far longer.

It's all moot anyhow until it's there. Foxconn said in 2013 they'd build a factory in the US (announced a location and all that), they still haven't broken ground on.

Trump's dimwitted minions may believe that Trump was responsible for this, but the rest of the world knows this is just another lie.
