I work for a company that employs manufacturing labor and pays minimum wage ($15/hr). Even the local coffee shop pays more than minimum wage.
Manufacturing jobs left the US because that same $15/hr could be $2/hr or less in another country and the job SUCKS. The only way to manufacture effectively in the US is to have things be almost exclusively automated and then the money goes to the very few anyway.
I do not buy that BS. They left the US because they were invited to by the US government after beating the fuck out of the labor force and telling them that unions were anti-American. The entire reason for the trump movement was loss of rural county manufacturing jobs.
Our economy is entirely MIC-based. All other manufacturing is gone. The US is a failed state.
