Not quite getting your point regarding white collar labor vs. manufactured imported and exported goods.
But as a comment, I was on the phone this morning with Maersk Lines Germany. Ended up having to talk to the Philippines and India centers.
Also received 2 scam calls from India. One wanted to give me a new SS card, the other wanted to fix my cable service.

Anyway, I kind of just went off on a tangent about other labor that is not here domestically, hence me rambling on about white-collar labor that could be here as well. My bad for going off on a little tangent.
My point was that those blue-collar jobs are not coming back to the states regardless of those tariffs, but many lower tier white-collar jobs could be brought back through incentives (tax).
