Reshoring manufacturing to the United States has become a major focus for policymakers, businesses, and economic development leaders in recent years. Shifting production back to the U.S. has the potential to strengthen domestic supply chains and national security, create jobs, increase long-term export capacity, foster technological growth, increase regional output, and support long-term industrial competitiveness. At the same time, reshoring can also affect labor markets, production costs, prices, infrastructure needs, and demand across related industries. 

In this webinar, REMI will examine the economic impacts of reshoring manufacturing to the United States. Using dynamic economic modeling, we will explore how increased domestic manufacturing activity can influence employment, GDP, output, wages, population, industry growth, and regional competitiveness. The presentation will also consider broader policy questions, including workforce availability, supply chain resilience, capital investment, and the tradeoffs between higher domestic production costs and reduced dependence on overseas suppliers. 

Attendees will gain insight into how reshoring initiatives can affect national, state, and regional economies, as well as how economic modeling can help evaluate the short- and long-term impacts of manufacturing and supply chain policy.
