Its because in the past, factory jobs paid decent money to low skilled workers.
Guys at GM, Ford, Dodge were making over $20/hr with great benefits for having little to no skills other than what they were taught on the job..
They could live ok within the middle class on those wages, buy a house and have retirement.
30 years later everything costs more and wages for jobs like they had are now 10-$15..
