Working in a factory, ie. breakfast cereal, sausage, has traditionally been
called "food industry." Micky D's was termed "entry level, unskilled
laborer." Both of these have been changed inorder to change the numbers so
the flood of off-shoring doesn't show.
The same thing was done with how unemployment is counted. The *real* number
of unemployed is almost double what is now reported.
