The company I work for is losing (and has lost) many jobs to both Mexico, and now Thailand. The Mexico situation has not been what they expected, as productivity and quality is very poor which has slowed the migration from the US and so far saved a few jobs. The upside here is they are really only good for our high volume long lead time products. Low volume, short lead time product is still manufactured here. Fortunately the plant I am in has a lot of the latter thus saving jobs here. We certainly have lost a lot of our high volume business due to the quality issues with foreign made product though. No matter how you look at it though it is a lose-lose situation for the USA (in my mind). We have priced ourselves out of a job, and the junk we buy is the result. I recently heard the numbers of shipping containers coming across the water it takes to "feed the monster" we know as Wal Mart. I don't remember the numbers, but they were staggering.
