Have you ever worked in a manufacturing job? Surveys have shown that people are much happier, on average, with their service jobs than they were in the past when manufacturing was more prevalent. That's because factory work involves doing dangerous, repetitive, mind numbing work in a loud, often overcrowded, odorous, and hot space. It's a meme that everyone wants to bring back manufacturing jobs, but no one actually wants to work in manufacturing. People want cozy office jobs.

"move up the value chain" assuming:

1. the next level opportunity exist

2. proper training (we all know that's pipe dream)

3. fits what these folks are looking for (for some, repetitive jobs == less stress than "creative" jobs).

but what about glut of workers == depress wage?
