I had a professor who did some work on outsourcing/insourcing. She said that this was starting to show up in the data many years ago (companies moving part of the production they outsourced back home). It was mostly about worker productivity, the hoped for savings from lower wages was getting eaten up by low foreign worker productivity, even in places like Korea and China that supposedly have eat our dinner workers. The more human capital a job took the more likely that it should stay in the states was what a lot of her data seemed to indicate.
