Reshoring, or Onshoring, is a movement by the manufacturing community to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US that have been "offshored" over the last 20 years. There are many factors that have led to a shrinking of the competitive price gap that offshoring has historically had. Higher transportation costs, the increasing wage levels in emerging economies, and technological advancement by US manufacturing are a few of the factors that are leading the way to a reshoring of US manufacturing jobs. Below is information on a seminar regarding this topic that will take place in Park Ridge, IL on September 30th.
