I agree about manufacturing although I think the U.S. may no longer be the best place for certain kinds of manufacturing, primarily due to our labor costs, regulatory constraints (environmental, human resources, insurance, etc.), excessive corporate taxation and easy access to certain raw materials. It is sad to say that my company has made way more money over the last 5 years shutting down manufacturing facilities than we have permitting new ones. The money is good but it is depressing work. I would much rather be involved in the siting, permitting and construction of new facilities but can you blame a multi-national for going elsewhere with these types of investments?
