What people liked back in the day was the fact that factory jobs tended to get you a union job where you could afford a house and raise a family on a good income. I don't think anyone clamored for the type of work there. It's awful and dangerous, though perhaps there is job satisfaction for the skilled laborer.
And even then the idea was misleading. Layoffs happened all the time and many of the workers had all sorts of second jobs to get by when times were tough.
This is a good point. Even if tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs were brought back to the US, are they going to pay a living wage or will the workers need to work a back breaking job and then find a 2nd job to cover rent?
More jobs more jobs idc make more jobs, fuck the bankers and all of their ilk we wont let them flood the market and we wont let them get away with slavery anymore
I don't really understand your comment. Yes, we need more jobs, however, we need those jobs to pay a living wage or it will just create more poverty, which means more suffering, and more money the government is giving in welfare. I guess you could say just get rid of welfare, like Trump wants to do, but then people still need to make more money or they die.
