<How about Toyota's in Texas or Hyundai's in Mississippi.>

The jobs you mention are not manufacturing as much as assembly. Certainly automated assembly of a large finished product benefits from a workforce near the sales point. But where do the parts come from - the lowest bidder of course. Auto parts vendors are always being squeezed on the margins, and they go to Mexico or other low wage areas for the obvious reasons, including low benefits and no pensions.
