Manufacturing jobs are gone, and they will never return. Moreover, probably spillover effects from ongoing manufacturing renaissance will translate into further decrease of manufacturing employment: new industry being created now can't exist without massive automation, and when this automation is in place, it will be adopted by pre-existing manufacturing businesses, too.

That's the case everywhere around the globe. Manufacturing employment is on the decline everywhere and there's no going back.

the reason why service jobs overtook manufacturing is precisely the opposite of this claim. Since Reagan / Thatcher era financialisation of the economy, it made much more sense to get job in 'the service industry' because it you could significantly increase your earning potential vis a vis those who continued in the manufacturing sector.
