Well I don't know if the answer is to replace manufacturing jobs with new manufacturing jobs. After all even though the reason these jobs went away is that they weren't economically competitive that's not the only obstacle we'd have to overcome to bring them back. Modern technology has severely reduced the need for humans to do them.
I watch a lot of the railroad documentaries from the 40's and 50's and one thing that is readily apparent in all of them is just how labor intensive everything was back then. What took 100 strong men now takes 1 button pusher. So what do we do with the other 99 people?
