Those jobs were never in America, they can't come back.
Manufacturing output in the US is higher than it's ever been, the myth that the US doesn't make anything is just propaganda.

Manufacturing plays a major role in our economy, with 12.1 million employees producing goods that we consume domestically or export abroad.

Zenith, Sylvania, RCA, Magnavox, Motorola. All US brands of televisions. Radios were also made by those brands. All manufactured from the ground up to being purchased right here in the USA. Later VCR's were branded with these names but they were manufactured over there. They stopped making televisions and just put their name on TV's made over there.
What kind of "American" power tools do you own, DEWALT, Milwaukee, Black & Decker, Stanley? Every power tool like that on the shelves of the big box store is made in China by one of two Chinese companies.
Microwave ovens? GE, Whirlpool etc. made by one of two Chinese companies over there. No matter how high end and expensive.
The "American" cars sold are mostly made outside the USA, whether they are wholly imported or just assembled here from parts made mostly over there. We used to manufacture the entire car here. Every nut, bolt and wire and piece of rubber. We imported rubber and turned the rubber into higher value finished products.
Now we cut down trees and ship the lumber over there along with other natural resources for the Chinese to produce the higher valued manufactured products. We are the third world colony supplying them.
THAT is what the Chinese officials meant when they scolded Blinken at that meeting in Alaska. Most of what Amazon sells is made in China. You can buy much of what's there directly from Chinese sellers on the internet like AliExpress.
This country is hollowed out and getting weaker by the month. Everyone can see it. The wealthy live in their self created bubble and keep the decay out of their sight.
