That's the thing. The US may be under 5%, but it's a balance between places like Silicon Valley, Denver, Austin, etc. where there are tons of great tech job openings and no one to fill them, and places like Eastern Ohio where no one can get a job period.
In a way, Moore's law has left a large segment of the country (and the world) behind. I don't think Car manufacturers are bringing back production from Mexico, or that Apple will make earbuds in the USA - at least not the $30 ones...
