So you’re claiming if manufacturing had stayed and it offered decent wages those service workers would still choose to stay in the service industry?

there is no such scenario because manufacturing would not have stayed. As explained in my original post, automation constitutes the bulk of replacement of manufacturing jobs. If every single manufacturing job from China came back to the United States we would be talking about a low single digit percentage number of the american workforce.
