To answer your question, yes I would. Working in a factory makes you much more than peanuts. You don't have to work in aerospace either. They are good jobs and creating more of them will benefit our country and raise average wages. A factory for making toasters opening up and creating jobs will increase average wages via supply and demand for labor. Even the bottom tier factories near me currently pay twice the minimum wage and that number will only go up with more job competition.
Did you know the Chinese government subsidizes shipping cost up until the point of entry at another country? It sometimes costs more for me to mail something to the next city over than it costs to mail something from China to the next city over. Our trade problems go beyond just cost of labor and shipping. China has had their thumb tipping the scale for a long time, now we do too.
