Horse and buggy jobs aren't coming back either. That's not a bad thing. U.S. manufacturing is outputting almost 50% more than it did 20 years ago(1). US manufacturing is more productive and provides a higher standard of living generally. Having said all of that, there are still manufacturing jobs, despite all of the rhetoric to the contrary.

As for the title, I don't miss unions.
