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.
