How Nearshoring Costs Are Outpacing Savings

Nearshoring promised to fix global supply chains by moving production closer to home. But as the strong dollar and rising labor costs in Mexico collide, that promise is fracturing. We look at why the math isn't adding up for many manufacturers, using Bombardier's recent footprint debate as a case study. With imports hitting record highs and the trade deficit widening, we explore whether nearshoring is actually saving money or just shifting the burden. This episode breaks down the hidden costs of reshoring, from logistics bottlenecks to wage inflation, and asks if the current economic environment can support the shift.
