Who do you think pays for those higher wages? The customers at the store, which are you and me.
Outsourced manufacturing and assembly means going outside of your organization and hiring a separate entity to build and/or assemble your product or project. You design, someone else builds.This has become a bit of a taboo topic recently as most immediately think of outsourcing overseas...

Most manufacturing jobs are low skilled. Those are not the kind that really help the economy.
Almost all the loss in manufacturing jobs have been among the low skilled manufacturing labor force. The job openings for the high skilled labor force domestically has actually increased, and there are lots of open job positions there which are going unfilled because of the lack of skilled labor. That’s actually slowing down and hurting the economy of the country.
“The relative decline in the number of low-skill workers, meanwhile, is a consequence of the adoption of information and other computer-related technologies and management practices, along with increasing competition from international producers. Total manufacturing jobs in nonmetro areas fell between 1990 and 2000, but low-skill jobs accounted for virtually all of the loss. Low-skill employment also fell in absolute terms in business serv- ices, health care, and public administration, even as total employment in those industries grew. “
But the Trump base doesn’t care. They just want to keep doing the same low skilled labor and going after the osame obsolete technology like coal that their parents and grandparents did. That’s what they think made America great, and they think going back to that will make America Great Again. It won’t. It’s a sure fire formula for economic stagnation and falling behind the rest of the world. This is the 21st-century, it’s a whole different ball game. The world is playing chess, and they want to keep playing checkers.
