Auto and manufacturing are crappy jobs too. They were only not crappy when they had strong unions that fought for benefits and wages that were much higher than they should be, which led to the American cars being expensive and poorer quality. The manufacturing industry is a dying industry in the US, and that's ok. America is still doing quite well compared to most countries, and relatively new companies like Amazon,Google, Apple and Microsoft employee more people than GM, Ford and Chrysler. It is not the sector we should be focusing on for job growth. It is not surprising coming from Trump. As far as I know, his business interests are mostly golf courses, office towers, real estate, and casinos. All very mature, or declining industries. I don't recall him ever having the foresight to get in early on a tech company about to take off.
