It’s actually still a large percentage that want to work in a factory considering everything. Which is the opposite of what the article is trying to imply.
I mean, if you question the survey so fundamentally then you shouldn’t take much of anything from it. Including the opposite conclusion.
For instance, you also have to consider the opposite group: the number of people who are unemployed and people who aren’t even participants in the economy but would prefer to be due to financial hardship. Desperate people might accept even awful work as an improvement, even if they’d prefer a completely different job overall if it was available.
And obviously, a lot of the people who perceive factory work as an improvement to their working lives even when already employed are probably thinking about it by mentally associating with the benefits of steady unionized work.
Where I live, basically none of the factory jobs that exist are unionized and are nearly all contract based through 3rd parties.
