Something to remember about "family and friends in the manufacturing area"

They got their jobs when labor became too expensive in the North East.
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.
I don't think there's any question that what we're seeing is part of an old trend of both job and business migration. The big difference is the use of the internet to do remote professional work that used to be immune to such things, and the big question is what are each of us personally going to do about it?
