Manufacturing Jobs Aren't Coming Back, No Matter Who's President

The percentage of Americans working in manufacturing fell under President Reagan. It also fell under Presidents Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama (respectively).

Which is to say, the decline of manufacturing jobs in the U.S. economy is not about who is president or what his policies are. It's the result of long-running, irreversible, historical factors (read: technology and globalization).

No Matter What Trump Says, Coal Mining Jobs Are Not Returning To West Virginia


Electronics assembly is something that will either be done by cheap foreign labor or robots within the U.S. There just won’t be (barring an economic meltdown of truly Venezuelan proportions) those sorts of jobs in those sorts of numbers in the U.S. ever again.

And the same is largely true of those coal mining jobs in Appalachia. Donald Trump tells us that he will bring them back but it’s just not going to happen.

There always will be a coal industry of some size because you’ll need it for something other than energy. There are certain parts of steel making that really do require coal; you can’t use nuclear, solar nor, while it would theoretically possible, natural gas. However, the big use, the one providing the volume to the business, has been thermal coal for power generation. And that market is just going to be a lot smaller in the future. Thus Trump’s promises top bring all those mining jobs back just isn’t going to happen:
