It was one of President-elect Donald Trump's main campaign promises: to bring back manufacturing jobs that American firms have outsourced abroad. Yet several major US companies, such as Reebok, have already started investing in production sites at home. Many had been producing in Asia - where workers' wages are lower - but have found new ways to cut costs, mainly thanks to new technology. This report takes a closer look.
A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Elom Marcel Toble.

I don't mind paying extra for as long as it is made in USA rather than china

[@tsermonte]

We have plenty of room for more factories.

[@htranpham7021]

MADE IN USA!!!! MADE IN AMERICA!!! Finally!

[@paulsommers7733]

I remember when almost everything was made in the USA, hopefully we can get back to that again.

[@liembui4239]

Awesome! I am willing to pay more for USA products!

[@planetmikusha5898]

Freeman doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground. His predictions have been proven so wrong.

[@agnessadang2502]

I'm a Filipino but I really missed made in USA products because you are sure that it's safe and durable.

[@honeybeewarrior5731]

[@popeye003]

I will never knowingly buy Chinese anything again.... Can't wait to see "Made in America" again.

[@robertstrack4482]

You liberals just don't get it!! Years ago I automated a company, We didn't lose any employees. We just shifted people from production to Quality Control. If a company doesn't have a robust Quality Control. Any company that doesn't have a Quality Control department is living in the dark ages. We hired more people, doubled our work space, shifted people to QA, Improved our product control all within 6 months!!!. With automation, one person did the work of 6. Oh yes,,,,Our President won again!!

A guy from London is talking about the U.S.. the U.S. is a bigger country than England and our unemployment rate is lower than England’s. And he’s saying that we don’t have jobs here because of the machines. 4% beats England’s 5.2%.

[@kikayganda8802]

At last the American companies are waking up to support their people and country. American made is known for their durability unlike China which is known to last for a week. Go America!

[@theuglykwan]

When Vietnamese labour is too expensive for you.. lol

[@bmaxingout]

Freeman voted Hillary

[@darthdaddy6983]

I’m still upset with the companies that left America in the first place , coming back is a good start but the CEO’s deserve a beating in the town square.

[@MD-lk4qr]

You see the guy ? The owner of factory? He is iranian!

[@andrewferguson887]

I remember when I was younger, anything that had, made in USA on it, you knew was quality.

[@tumbledon]

no jobs=no consumption
