It’s worse than that: most of those hypothetical factory jobs will go to people “higher” on the economic chain who lost their jobs and are shifting “down”, not to “lower” workers shifting “up”.

Maybe meat packing and fruit picking, if Trump gets around to deporting those workers instead of college students.
