I'm doubtful outsourcing + shipping will be more expensive than raising wages + shipping - because tooling and automotive/aerospace parts are used further away than the machine shop door, shipping is a cost regardless. Sure, shipping is further from Uzbekistan than Connecticut, but seafreight is cheap as hell, and most factory lines are relatively stable.

Unless America is going to push business "leaders" to bring jobs home through tax and finance structures, I wouldn't count on pay going up. You cannot count on Mac or similar to bring jobs home to virtue signal - American capitalism generally means if you aren't cheaper or noticably better, you'll be fed to the wolves.
