I live in Hickory, NC. It used to be the #1 furniture manufacturer area in the world. Not anymore. Manufacturers have closed left and right. We still have some that won’t fold, but most have. Leaving a specific skilled workforce without jobs and on Medicaid

I forgot all about the North Carolina furniture manufacturers, they had thier boom era as well.

It's crazy how all of these industries morphed or outright evaporated in what seemed like quick time frames

That's pretty interesting, Ive only been in one union my entire life and it was right around when our industry collapsed, and the union as it was collapsed with it.

Ironically, some of the "unfair" companies locally Ive heard of before are on the periphery of our trade markets here, IIRC

I would love to get into that field, especially if I were a little younger, but Im still trainable,

I need a solid 5-10 years and Im not sure my current situation gives me the best return on time spent.
