What kind of jobs?
People sewing clothes in Bangladesh earn less than 40 US-$ per month, working
60 hours per week. Would you like to have such a job? Would you pay 50 Dollars
for one T-shirt instead of a 10-pack if they were made by US sewers?
Or those "coal mining" jobs? Mining is done by machines nowadays, 100 more guys
doing maintenance on those machines don't make a difference.
Did the jobs even "go to overseas"? The taxi drivers didn't lose their jobs to
people overseas, they lost them due to self-exploiting Uber drivers. Paper boys
lost their jobs due to the internet and if you need a hole for the swimming
pool in the backyard, you don't get ten people with shovels, you get one with
an excarvator.
Getting back jobs doesn't work because of two facts:
- one can never buy the products they made
  from the money they got for making them
- capitalism needs growth and that's gained by increasing productivity
