Absolutely, the folks in New England took jobs from those of their friends in the English cotton mills. If there is unequal cost of labor, business will gravitate to those places.

Agricultural workers were willing to work for lower wages than Northerners
in North Carolina, I guess to get out of the fields. The process will repeat
itself when the latest recipients of those jobs want higher wages than those
in an even less developed country.
