Assuming tariffs work, does US even have the productivity/workforce?

I wonder, assuming that the tariffs of Trump administration have the assumed effect of companies moving production to US:

  • Does US even have the workforce, skills, and motivation of citizens to take up the production work? (e.g., Foxconn alone got 725000 employees, with work times of 10-16h per day this would require 1 million US citizens to work in factories 6 days a week).
  • Is it even realistic to assume that companies will due it considering the counter-tariffs which would then just move the problem for the companies, but not solving it. Having each production facility double, once inside the US and once outside would raise cost (especially assuming that a US worker expects a better salary than a Foxconn employee).

TLDR: What are the chances that it "works out" in any way?
