A lot of aero manufacturing is done in CT, PA, NY. Some also have offshore plants but the engineering is done in the US. A huge % of the entire aero supply chain is US based...Granted, it's one industry of many, but they're doing well.

The good/bad element is that companies want to increase throughput without adding burden (i.e. staff) so they're investing in technology to make their existing workforce more productive. There are manufacturing jobs being added, but not at the rate required before.
