Engineers and tech workers might consider steering their careers towards the defense industry with the intention of eventually doing work that requires a security clearance.
Classified jobs aren’t going to be exported anytime soon (I’m not willing to say “ever”).

IMO, if we actually end up with a global economy, the average global wage will be about 10 of today’s US dollars per hour.
That will be fantastic for other countries like China where the average wage is currently about 60 US cents per hour with no benefits.
It will be very painful here in the US.
$10/hour is $20,000/year – can you even visualize what your lifestyle might look like on $20K/year?
