Reshoring Survey
U.S. manufacturing is not just reshoring, it is evolving. The Reshoring Initiative in collaboration with Regions Recruiting recently conducted a comprehensive industry-wide survey to identify the key factors influencing manufacturers’ decisions to reshore factories and supply chains.
A Large Skilled Workforce Matters Most
Unpredictable tarrifs are creating uncertainty for U.S. manufacturers’ supply chains and investment plans.
