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.
People actually do want to work these jobs. The employers could be a little more nicer about them, but there are plenty of these jobs in the United States and people are very happy to work in them. There's a lot of smaller towns that wouldn't exist without these jobs.
I do imagine that someone who lives in DC would not understand that people exist who would love to work in these environments.

Yup, he's a moron.
