What kind of problems does USA has with manufacturing?

Question

for example competition etc...

Answer 1

Well, it is difficult for USA manufacturers to compete with other countries, because other countries pay next-to-nothing to a factory worker, where here in the states we have minimum wage laws, which affects how cheap we can sell a product.

Answer 2

What it boils down to is cheaper labor in other countries. They don't have to worry about paying them benefits and things like that. I don't really think they are getting that good of a deal especially if you consider how much they have to pay in transportation and packing cost.And now with the fuel cost as high as they are, I bet they are feeling it big time. If companies would bring more work here and pay a decent wage, I bet they wouldn't have any problems getting workers, the trick it the decent wage part.
