Low-skill jobs - unless they have very demanding physical requirements, such as great strength - will naturally tend to offer low pay as well. High-paying manufacturing jobs were the result of a union-government cabal's favoring some low-skilled workers at the expense of the larger economy, both consumers and excluded workers.

Low-skill manufacturing jobs can lead to the acquisition of more skills and better paying jobs.

When you don't have the entry-level jobs because you have no manufacturing, then you have no chance for advancement either.

I agree we should not expect "high paying, low skilled" jobs, but entry-level manufacturing jobs should pay better than not working.
