a*******a 发帖数: 245 | 1 While the U.S. unemployment rate hangs high above 8%, manufacturing is one
sector of the American economy that has seen substantial jobs growth over
the last few years.
President Barack Obama said as much during his interview with 60 Minutes
Sunday:
"The month I was sworn into office, we were losing eight hundred
thousand jobs a month. We ultimately would lose nine million jobs during the
height of that Great Recession. We came in, made some tough decisions....
And because of that we've now had thirty months of job growth, four and
a half million new jobs, half a million jobs in manufacturing alone."

What's the main driver behind the rebirth in American manufacturing?
Rising production costs in other industrialized and developing nations,
including labor and energy costs, makes manufacturing in the U.S. less
expensive for American companies.
Key findings from the report include:
In less than three years, the U.S. will have a cost advantage of 5% to
25% over Germany, Italy, France, the U.K., and Japan in a number of
industries, including machinery, chemicals, transportation equipment as well
as electrical and appliance equipment.
America's natural gas boom from shale (commonly referred to as "fracking
") has provided this country with some of the cheapest natural gas prices
around the world. For the forceable future, natural gas prices will remain
50% to 70% cheaper in the U.S. versus Europe and Japan.
Labor costs in other developed economies will be 20% to 45% more
expensive compared to the costs of hiring U.S. workers.
The U.S. could grab additional exports from the aforementioned nations
to the tune of $130 billion annually.
Average manufacturing costs in China will only be 7% lower compared to
in the U.S in 2015.

Some companies are already taking advantage of America's low-cost
manufacturing environment. The following examples are cited in the BCG
report:
Toyota (TM) plans to assemble its Camry models in Kentucky and Sienna
minivans in Indiana for export to South Korea. Honda (HMC) and Nissan are
also ramping up U.S. production.
Siemens (SI) is building gas turbines for export to the Middle East.
Rolls-Royce recently began producing aircraft engine parts in Virginia.
