I worked in the retail; it is the shittiest job I ever had. I was given an abnormal schedule: two days closing, one day opening, one mid shift (and I should work either Saturday or Sunday). The churn is really high: people leave even if they find a better yet shitty job. Which jobs do you want to create in US? Retail jobs or manufacturing jobs?

Manufacturing jobs in Asia (e.g. making shoes) have much higher churn than retail jobs in Asia. That shit is hard work, but well paid by local standards.

Manufacturing also requires young people. You can't work in a factory in your 40s. The west is demographically ill-suited for those jobs.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?
