The pandemic has spurred a national push to strengthen the domestic supply chain, driving reshoring numbers higher. If the second half of 2021 progresses at the same rate as the first half, reshoring and foreign direct investment (FDI) job announcements for 2021 are projected to be over 220,000 or 38 percent above an excellent 2020, according to the latest data from the Reshoring Initiative. That would give 2021 by far the highest yearly rate recorded to date.
