Yep, the problem is that most of the good paying manufacturing jobs are being replaced with lower paying retail and service industry jobs. In order to make the same money many of these people are in the situation where they have to go back to school and if you have a family and mortgage and commitments that is not always a very realistic option and even it you can manage it you could end up losing a lot in the process.
