People LOVED their factory jobs back in the 60s / 70s.
That's why there were so many songs about how they wanted to stay on the production line for all time and never, ever leave their hometown.

1980's Billy Joel; no, not like that
You mean this song isn't about how the Company Store is so good, they choose to exclusively shop there!!!!! I'm shook!
Got a little job in the factory
I don't know much about Kennedy
I was too busy working in the factory - Warren Zevon
Another day older and deeper in debt
why does that Richard Gere pic ring a bell?
[me now]
oh yeah I remember
That was of course why the dream of the 1980s was escaping from their simple Iowa factory jobs to flashy, high-energy Wall Street factory jobs.
Having a strong union like most American factory workers did in the 50s and 60s though, that would be something to get excited about. Union workers back then could afford a car, house, and kids.
"Take This Job and Love It" topped the charts.
"In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl, you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away, oh yes I know it
And I've been workin' too, baby
Every night and day
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you"
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself
Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanise yourself
"Working in the coal mine
Going down, down, down
Working in the coal mine
Whoop, I wanna sit down
Five o'clock in the morning
I'm already up and gone
Lord, I'm so tired
How long can this go on..."
And definitely never ever were there songs about fast cars or big cities
But the attempt to glamorize blue color work at the expense of higher education is a transparent push to keep GOP voters uneducated.
But
Do go on

🎶I met my love by the gas works wall. Dreamed a dream by the old canal. I kissed my girl by the factory wall. Dirty old town! Dirty old town!🎵
