"NC bleeds more manufacturing jobs and there isn't a thing we can do about it."
Well, I remember seeing some [seriously] high end hardwood Italian-made furniture sets. They looked better than Ethan Allen or Broyhill stuff - better styling, not that their making looked much more involved. One would think that NC furniture industry has necessary know-how and could consider shifting up-scale.
