INTERACTIVE MAP AT SITE FOR EACH STATE:




A manufacturing recession may already be under way in vulnerable swing states, challenging President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to deliver blue-collar jobs to his base.

Out of the 21 states with manufacturing job losses so far this year, some of those with the biggest percentage declines are states where Trump won by less than 5 percentage points. In Pennsylvania, the manufacturing sector lost 8,100 jobs. In North Carolina, it was 7,700, and Wisconsin lost 6,500 jobs.

1. TX leads the race to the bottom in wages/benefits. To the top in stealing jobs.

TX is gaining jobs through a most insidious way. They have intentionally created an environment that favors the corporations/employer over the workers.

They have an influx of jobs because they are fucking other states with better wage/benefits/human rights laws.
