There were literally large 7 story buildings where women worked in long rows of machines (not just sewing machines) cutting and sewing leather into shoes. I myself worked in a leather factory when I was about 19. 100% of those industries are gone. I'm not saying there are no shoes made in the USA but in the state where I lived there are none. hundreds of thousands of jobs gone. There are a lot of industries like that. The transition was not always easy, many small communities sufferred before they recovered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
