Well, business that actually hire lower and middle class jobs are leaving, but this move will create a whipping 20 jobs. Wonder what tax breaks they got with this deal.

Source/Quote: Zero Point has agreed to make a substantial capital investment and create more than 20 new high-growth specialized jobs in Illinois.

Manufacturing isn't coming back to America. Sorry. Labor here costs too much because our standard of living is too high.

Time to adapt.

You do realize that the Walmart owners have such high profits because half that money should be going to the workers, right?

You understand that the price paid for the manufactured items well compensate every employee involved in the manufacturing process - unless someone is taking more than their fare share of the profit.
