I think any major economic player will need to learn how to compete in the global economy, or perish. Protecting USA jobs, while foreign competitors make the same quality products more cheaply will drive USA companies out of business. A USA company driven out of business, because it can't compete with foreign companies that have access to cheap labor, provides no jobs.
Giving tax incentives to companies that do not use the cheapest labor, whether the cheapest labor is at home or abroad, is a government subsidy brought a paid for by guys like you and I, and its not a permanent solution. Instead of providing protectionism for American companies, it would be better for force them to learn how to compete globally. A better solution might be a fairer distribution or earning within the payroll system of companies, so there isn't such a disparity between the salaries between labor, management, and ECO of the companies, but in the final analysis, USA companies must learn how to compete globally, whether it be using cheaper labor at home or abroad, reducing the price of the product by using better technology, reducing the price of the product by mass production on a large scale, producing a better product for a price that yield the best value in the global market.
