I drive an "American" car (made in Windsor). I think our computers are made here, aren't they? I drink California wine.
just as an aside, I don't think $10/hr manufacturing jobs are that rare here- I think you can find them.

I live between Aurora and Joliet. Caterpillar has plants in both places. Joilet is hiring at about $12/hour. Aurora isn't. You can't transfer to Joilet if you've been laid off in Aurora.
There are jobs, but finding them, especially if you don't have a reliable car, is often harder than it should be, and there are all kinds of quirks. I'd like to think you're right about work being not too hard to find, but anecdotal and empirical evidence aren't running in your favor.
