US factory job gains come slowly


DETROIT: Nike Inc’s announcement that it could create up to 10,000 manufacturing jobs in the United States will spark further debate on whether the country is starting to see an industrial renaissance after many years of job losses.

Evidence from government and private data suggests it is too early for US workers, or politicians, to celebrate. Any boost in US manufacturing appears so far to be, at best, modest and fragile.
