There is always hope but a lot of US manufacturers are short-staffed and it's affecting quality control.
My previous employer used to require an aptitude test, background check, HS diploma and random drug screening for production floor positions. Now they'll hire almost anyone who shows up on time for the interview.
Existing employees now have to do not only their regular job plus overtime to cover staff shortages, but also mentor a new-hire who more often than not will have quit within the first 90 days. The ones who stick around are getting burned out and it shows in their attention to detail.
Ran into a former coworker who left for greener pastures before I did. Asked him how he liked it.
"Man, everywhere you go, people say the same thing: 'This used to be a good place to work.'"
