What are you basing this off of? American companies are going remote en masse and my anecdotal evidence suggests nearly every company made the transition to remote during the pandemic (and may have switched back afterwards).
American companies are really good at adapting because they’re not legally required to tiptoe around workers’ rights like in England where unions reign supreme (not saying unions are a bad or a good thing). Also workers are tied to US soil by virtue of the incredibly expensive permits you need on each foreign worker that makes offshoring infeasible for all but the largest companies.

Another is that even if they outsource, these workers aren't like the low-skill work that they outsourced in china in the past. In any case, it 's just speculation since we re speculating
