I think it was a trend before but like many things the pandemic will accelerate the process.

I still remember the refrigirator plant in the US central states that took a Federal grant to not move their plant to Mexico The rationale was that it would save jobs. I know someone mentioned the company invested most of the money in automation so the jobs are going anyway, not today but a few years down the road when the switch over is complete. No quite what was intended.

I think the challenge has been that the bulk of the jobs created during the last decade was low paying, service jobs. Normally not a issue except that 70 percent of the economy is due to domestic spending. If you have half the working population unemployed and potentially a significant amount under-employed you kill 35 percent or more of the economy.
