China is getting old and won't be a source of cheap labour and it's saying for most places apart from Africa and Mexico

They have young population and the United States of America is already outsource in its manufacturing to Mexico

Commodities will become more expensive if Nations start to reindustrialize and bring manufacturing to the home Nations

Rather than having that industry being done by a specialized nation in instead Nations will become jack of all trades

Which will lead Products or services to become much more expensive

With labour and manufacturing being outside the broad it's squeeze America's working classes

And the wager's went to people's working in the brain economy and in White collar jobs if manufacturing comes out

There'll be a high demand for blue collar workers and they will be a labor shortage which will lead to waging creases as well as inflation

In the 1920s and 1930s people that used to work in Henry Ford's assembly lines were paid the equivalent

Of today's web designers it's the power of the free market which helps to decide the value of a person's

One of the big issue for our generation is that they won't work blue collar jobs because they see the work as demeaning and as much less status

I have worked as an delivery driver, salesperson and in call centres I don't really find them rewarding experiences

That try for lots of people who have gone through the education system when they may have been better of learning a trade

My father and build fences, gates, do bricklaying as well as tiling but for me I don't have a clue how to do that

Because a lot of boomer fathers wanted their own children not to be blue colour workers which in reality may have hard their children professionally

That's a big issue facing the United States it that the boomer generation and generation X didn't want their children to be blue collar workers

But it's seen as low status
