Deloitte Debates — Bring Manufacturing Jobs Home!

Some say this trend creates new strategic options for facility and supply chain planning. Others argue that two of the structural drivers — energy costs and taxes — will make it impossible for U.S. manufacturing to regain competitive advantage. Which raises the question: Is it time to start bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.?
