This is John Batchel, conversation with my good friend and colleague, Chris Regal, CEO of Scholar.com.

He travels all over the world, all the continents. He has business everywhere. But we talk specifically about the U.S. I ask the frequently asked question, can the U.S. become a manufacturing floor again?

Chris asks answers in detail, what kind of floor and why.

Here's Chris Wrigal, CEO of Scholar.com, manufacturing future for the 21st century in the USA.

What does it look like?

More of this tonight.

John, we absolutely can be again, and we are still a manufacturing power. The key point that we have to understand or to legitimize in logic

or thought going forward is what businesses doesn't make sense to have manufacturing here.

The United States is never going to make

low value products to be able to compete with Indonesia or Vietnam or China or India on a labor side.

But if we model similar to the Germans or the Japanese, the high value, high cost, high

precision industries can absolutely have a manufacturing renaissance

in the United States and continue to grow and grow great jobs across the country.
