Except nobody is talking about the bringing the reliable, long term service jobs back to the U.S. Manufacturing is only 11% of our jobs, Agriculture 2%, yet manufacturing is what is being romanced.
- kefka 10y agoNobody wants to be out in the summer heat, with the sun blazing down. And then, the work itself is back-breaking hard work. And it never paid as well as the industrial and manufacturing jobs paid. And you're also competing (in the South) with temp immigrants at low low wages, because those wages are good compared to Mexico.
- flukus 10y agoManufacturing had a permanence that service jobs don't, they were often jobs for life, you could long term financial decisions.
- candiodari 10y agoService jobs are mostly waiting tables, generously interpreted (e.g. from in an Actual restaurant, in a bar, in McDonalds up to maybe stacking shelves). These jobs suck.

- aclsid 10y agoAgain, look at countries that do keep their manufacturing jobs. So maybe you think China and Mexico are backwards countries, so let me put it this way then. Look at what Germany and Japan are still doing.
