This actually show you why the low-tax strategy the South uses means you get lots of low-wage jobs. If the City could re-vamp it's schools so that HS was five-year program resulting in an Associates, and make one of those programs training machinists, we could benefit from the shortage. But since the City has no money to do that, and doesn't actually control education [[that belongs to an independent School Board, which is, believe it or not, in worse shape then the City proper)...

That's Detroit's true tragedy. So many opportunities, but they all cost money.
