I work for a company that employs manufacturing labor and pays minimum wage ($15/hr). Even the local coffee shop pays more than minimum wage.
Manufacturing jobs left the US because that same $15/hr could be $2/hr or less in another country and the job SUCKS. The only way to manufacture effectively in the US is to have things be almost exclusively automated and then the money goes to the very few anyway.
