We have a service based economy. So there are a lot more people doing that.
But we still have jobs that are similar to factory work. Like warehouse work. It's just we pay them shit because now the workforce has given up all its leverage.
Basically trump bringing up this idea that manufacturing is gonna come back -- its a dumb idea for older people that remember the high pay and STILL don't accept that was because of unions and New Deal norms. They think there is some kind of thing within the manufacturing that made it high pay.
That was completely incidental. If we were nothing but a farm country -- we would be talking about the good old days of high paid field hands.
