Jobs is not the same as production. Many of the jobs are lost due to automation. If you bring manufacturing back to the US you’ll be “hiring” a lot more robuts than humans.

So? Manufacturing is not a jobs program. The output is what matters.

You might as well say we "de-agriculturized" because we automated farming.
