Most huge and successful manufacturing companies in the US currently manufacture all their goods in other countries other than the US. With china leading on this list, most economics have agreed that the most common reason for this is the availability of significantly low-wages elsewhere.
Another reason would be automation. In this Era of Far-greater inventions and technology, many automated industries have emerged and hence eliminating the labor needed to accomplish the said Job. In the same way that people lost their Jobs in agriculture when machine entered the picture, we can see even more of this happening now even with the ever-growing population.
