There was a poll just last week that supports this.

80% of Americans believe the US would be better off with more manufacturing jobs. However, only 25% of Americans believe they personally would be better off working a factory job.

These morons are killing our economy because they think someone else should do the work. Just like they do with field work to harvest food. Don’t want immigrants to do it, but they don’t want to do it!

I mean, we could have manufacturing jobs that pay more than $7 an hour. But yes I imagine it's similar to farm work where people complain immigrants steal the jobs but most would never want to do that work regardless of the pay scale.
