Since the pandemic, near-shoring has become as big a trend as reshoring as a way to increase resiliency and shorten supply chains. Near-shoring is the practice of transferring an operation to a nearby country, such as Mexico, in preference to a more distant one, such as China. Now, new data from the Commerce Department provides dramatic evidence of that trend.

This episode also covers:

• Global Foundries is getting a $1.5 billion federal grant to boost semiconductor production in the U.S.
• Toyota has started production on a new assembly line at its engine factory in Huntsville, AL.  
• A Japanese company has developed a way to recycle carbon fiber leftover from production of the Boeing 787.
• An automotive assembly line in India is staffed entirely by women.
