Valve did final assembly for the steam controllers in the US. Not sure if that counts or not.

It was shortly after the portal 2 launch and they did a slick video of the process with portal music.

It wasn’t that long ago, for reference the original Xbox was made in the USA.

Edit: This is factually incorrect. Apologies.

Actually, the description of that video says the production line was in Hungary.

But there was still a lot of electronics manufacturing and assembly in the US during the early 2000's as well, including iPods and iMacs.

Oh you’re right.

labour is the #1 cost of most businesses
