In fact, before these jobs went overseas either Asian or Hispanic Immirgants were manufactoring them. I use to live in Southern California in Orange County and few whites were working in factories in the 1990's. Whites in factories in California were mainly doing machinists jobs, Drafting and so forth. Hispanics were doing anything from the low skilled facotry work to the machinsts and so forth. Joel lives in the past where he thinks the average Joe gives factory work.cinc210https://www.blogger.com/profile/07356093909391087173noreply@blogger.com
