re: Some of these cities include Dayton, Toledo, St Louis, Kansas City etc. Anyone can be taught to put nuts on a bolt, and people in developing countries will do it for far less than $20+ an hour, or even $20 a day. The new "value added" jobs require fairly high levels of edumacation. You have to be able to do things that the people that took your manufacturing jobs can't. If your town doesn't have the requisite levels and your manufacturing jobs leave, it's all over. I don't see ANY recovery for most midwest towns. Detroit will bounce back, but only because it has a large population of highly educated people. The ones who worked in overpaid factory jobs here will either get more education or be stuck in menial jobs. The days of making good money for doing things anyone could do are over, and they aren't coming back.
