Even Tim Cook mentionned it, the US doesn't have the amount of engineers it needs to move production to the US, it's simply impossible.
Tim Cook can eat a bag of rancid donkey dicks. The reason we 'don't have enough engineers', a point which I would emphatically argue, is because CEOs like Tim and companies like Apple vehemently refused to invest in domestic capabilities as they rushed to save money via Chinese outsourcing.
If we want "Tooling" Engineers, or any other specialty such as "Process Control", the answer is as always to pay them what they are worth and that's the rub; Timmie and his buddies don't want to pay the high salaries for these skills.
It's no more impossible than having enough world class software engineers. The United States in general, and Silicon Valley in particular, used to be the world leader in developing and attracting Engineering talent and the only reason we aren't anymore is because companies don't want to pay for it.
Well foreign engineers could come here, I'm sure they would feel very safe and welcome...
Guess that's on them for pricing people out of higher education...
No, it's that companies aren't willing to pay the salaries of engineers in the US. The US pumps out thousands of fresh engineers every year, but the starting salary of a new engineer in the US is $110k while the starting salary of new engineer in the UK is around $33k. In France it is closer to $75k.
And this isn't isolated to engineering, either. In the TV industry, they are finding it is cheaper to fly game show contestants to London to shoot a 30 min game show than it is to shoot it in the US.
