For the record, and this probably does not need explaining (except to viruses):
When I speak of saving auto worker jobs or UAW jobs, I take for granted that people realize that ancillary jobs come with those jobs.
Without the bottom there is no top. Assembly line jobs in this country help create engineering jobs and accounting jobs, IT jobs and advertising jobs, etc, etc.
I’ve been lucky enough to not need to stand at a boring assembly job, but all along I’ve known that part of my income comes from people who do.
A firm, prosperous foundation to our economic pyramid is essential.
