> For white collar jobs, maybe (despite evidence of nearshoring/reshoring). Physical jobs?

Physical jobs get outsourced. Look at what an Amazon driver makes compared to a UPS driver. Look at all the jobs the big three auto manufacturers have shipped to Mexico over the last 40 years.

Your first example is Amazon using a corporate structure maneuver to evade employee classification. That is not outsourcing, that is attempting to evade the law. Your second example, while accurate [1] (and a contributor to the hollowing out of the middle class), is trending back to the US due to Inflation Reduction Act subsidies [2] (battery factories highlighted as they are the major component of EVs).
