Construction is a solid category to replace manufacturing.
Have open borders. Market the shit out of America. This causes millions of people to immigrate into the US.
Each of these people are going to need housing. 15 million houses at 200k each = $3 trillion growth. BOOM. just like that. And that's just housing.
The 90's was characterized by open borders in the US. Immigration was completely wide open. It causes a HUGE boom in our economy, and we need to return to those halcyon days of open borders. (and, no, it wasn't the dot-coms that grew the economy - there are far too few computer programmers to do that)

Too many people at the lower end of the skill spectrum will eventually become a liability that need to be supported with welfare. Communities will generally need to minimize the number of people that will need welfare and maximize the number of people that are productive enough to provide the welfare. If the welfare burden on the productive members becomes too high, the productive members will try to flee because they aren't being fairly rewarded for their productivity.
