You have to lower real wages by fixing the various factors pushing up wages. Healthcare, infrastructure, housing, daycare. If a government can provide those things and basically internalize those costs the production of goods becomes cheaper and more competitive on the global stage because as an industrialist you can pay lower wages without effecting the subsistence rate of workers. This will obviously never happen.

Within a capitalist framework? Some sort of Keynesian program. Have the government buy stuff with some specifications that they have to be American made and the jobs have to be decent. Put money in regular folks hands and they will drive up consumption, which could lead to more jobs.

However, I think State owned enterprises like we see in China could become the new model capitalist solution for growth.

you could target the tariffs instead of a blanket tariff so that the domestic private sector in priority sectors can be built up with less competition from imports without causing general price increases.

or you could provide subsidies so the domestic goods are more competitive.

or better yet, state owned enterprises so the capitalists don't get free Government money (directly anyway). the state can price it competitively.

its really their choice, yea some neolibs would scream communism but the US can have imports and domestic production/jobs.

or you can destroy amerikkka with 500% tariff so that China is forced to sell goods to itself and other countries.
