Where did you get that stat?

I know of several companies who were sending jobs to China, but tariffs have kept manufacturing lines running in the US.

As a country, we have been sending far too many people to college, and even subsidizing our universities to provide useless degrees. Our behavior has to change. Our worship of hobby degrees which cost $250k, but which have zero return on investment...needs to stop. Auto industry, semiconductor industry ... these jobs need to come back to the US. If there are that many positions to fill, then it is time to offer higher wages.

Just had a handyman/remodeler at the house this morning. Guy was in his 20s. He did a great job. Not too long ago, any person like that would have been 50 years old.
