there are still plenty of factories in the US. a fraction of what there once was but still lots. there was a time when if you didn't like your factory job, you could quit that morning and have another one by the afternoon. i wouldn't say in general people were unhappy to work these jobs. there are a lot of unskilled americans who depend on these kinds of jobs but the writing has been on the wall for a long time now. you need skills otherwise your job will be replaced by a robot.
