Allowing more documented legal workers into tech industries would be a good start. Investing more in R & D would go a long way. Increasing reproductive rates of citizens would help. Providing an education to our citizens on par with the best other countries would be good. REducing government regulation, or at least not increasing it is a good idea. Allowing a few million legal immigrants on a citizenship track in would move towards heading off the next recession. I can go on for hours like this... Education, education, and more education. Not only in the hard sciences, but even vocational stuff - across the board. Forget about factory jobs. That is a losing battle. Most of those jobs will go to low wage countries. Even there, they will not be competitive enough. Most of that labor can be replaced by robots. Politicians fighting for factory jobs are not doing anyone any favors.
