The Columbus (OH) Dispatch (1/29, Williams) reported, "American companies that shipped work abroad now are starting to bring manufacturing jobs back to this country: Several hundred thousand manufacturing positions are expected to open in the United States in the next decade." Large "companies such as Ford and smaller ones such as the maker of EdenPure space heaters have recently returned production to Ohio or say they will." The Dispatch reported, "Business leaders and economists credit the made-in-America-again trend to several factors: rising labor costs in China, increasing costs to ship products to the US, and the desire to more directly control the manufacturing process and the quality of the products."
