Reshoring Initiative Reports Increased Reshoring for 2015
About 240,000 manufacturing jobs have been brought to the U.S. from offshore in the last six years, the organization says.
According to the Reshoring Initiative, reshoring and foreign direct investment (FDI) remained strong in 2015, and surveys show that the trend is increasing. About 240,000 manufacturing jobs have been brought to the United States from offshore in the last six years, according to the organization. That job gain is the result of both new reshoring—the return of manufacturing work by U.S. companies—and investment by foreign companies into the U.S. manufacturing sector. Reshoring represents about 28 percent of the total increase in U.S. manufacturing jobs since the low of 11.45 million in February 2010. About 12.32 million Americans are now employed in the manufacturing sector, with more manufacturing work coming into the country than is leaving it, the Initiative says.
