The majority of NC's economy relies on manufactoring, Chicago's does not. My friends and neighbors will feel many more negative effects than yours will. Those candy manufactoring jobs could have been saved by some protective sugar tariffs. Sugar farmers would have appreciated them too.

Those candy manufactoring jobs could have been saved by some protective sugar tariffs.
Actually these jobs were destroyed by sugar tariffs. The tariffs raised the cost of manufacturing here. So they moved.
Sugar farmers would have appreciated them too.
These sugar farmers are charging double or triple the world price of sugar. And only 300,000,000 million Americans are being overcharged.

3,139,889 total private sector jobs. Looks like manufacturing is only 26.6% of total private sector jobs. Not looking good for your claim. But I'm open to your sources.
I guess all those candy manufacturers who moved to Mexico for cheaper sugar are in for it:
