Engineering is elite level stuff that doesn't account for most kinds of trade and manufacturing work. The accreditation I was referring to is the university stuff. As far as I know, accreditation for trades still doesn't carry much weight there
As for the manufacturing sector crumbling in the midwest because people don't like cold weather-- well, I'm just glad you, yourself, admitted that you were talking out of your ass. I like thinking outside the box, but I think it's well established that manufacturing left, and so labor left, not the other way around. Labor may have caused it to leave through the demands of unions, but it wasn't because their toes were cold.
I wasn't talking out of my ass about the Sun Belt Migration. That's legit, and it's largely climate driven. What I additionally posited is that the primary mover could have been the Sun Belt Migration, which could have sparked a cycle away from manufacturing in the Manufacturing Belt
