Dani Rodrik in the NYT the other day with a pretty compelling argument about making service sector jobs into good jobs

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/o...
Progressives have echoed the right in calling for a revival of manufacturing. This is a mistake. Automation and global competition have killed manufacturing jobs in virtually all middle-income and advanced economies. Manufacturing's share of employment has broadly continued to fall in the United States despite strident efforts by Presidents Biden and Trump to arrest it. Today roughly one in 12 American workers is employed in manufacturing. Putting up trade barriers against China will not work. China itself has lost millions of manufacturing jobs over the past decade and a half.
