As someone from the poorest state in the US with both Nissan and Toyota plants 10.50 with overtime is almost a win fall for most people with just a highschool diploma or GED. And these companies have increased the lifestyle of many people. After ten years at Nissan, depending on your natural ability you can move up into the $20 hour plus range which is good living here. Its sad this happened but I don't think you can entirely blame it on the manufacturers. Before the manufactures it was farm accidents and there is little to no safety regs in farming.
