EvMick,
       I worked in factories from 1951 onward.  I finished school and worked 
at professional level position from 1964 onward.  
       Just a homely observation but I believe that is a large part of what 
fueled the movement of manufacturing to Mexico, SE Asia and other points 
outside the US.  Some people think Japan is an exception but when I had 
consulting assignments inside large companies I was always told what 
percentage (fairly large) they owned of various large Japanese companies.
       I think guys just got tired of screwing with the unions and the 
government whether national, state or local.
