Jobs are only coming back to the US because it's recently become cheaper to employ US citizens than workers in offshore sweatshops -- that's nothing to celebrate.

This is not true at all. The salaries are still not cheaper. What has changed is the offshore work is no longer cheap enough to offset the negatives that exist - intellectual property theft, shipping costs, shifting government regulations, cultures that expect bribes as part of standard business, etc.
America is not cheaper, the gap is just much closer when all things are considered these days.
