Unlikely, unless the cost structure became so warped that companies - foreign or otherwise - had no choice.Do you think their would be any employment opportunities if foreign companies manufactured in America?
In this scenario, we would have a mix of reduced inventory, imported products at significantly higher prices, and some factories choosing to manufacture in the USA (mainly automated manufacturing). The actual impact on employment regardless will be low while the impact/drag on GDP will be significant. Ours is a consumer based economy and changing that would require a reduction of the poverty level mixed with an environment where our labor pool is more attractive to companies instead of a developing nation's labor pool...a really dreadful thought experiment.
