Well those were not the easiest jobs back then either....you had to do 8-10 years on the line before you could get an easier position that was less "robotic". I am sure it is way more efficient now than then...after his time on the line my dad did stuff like pushing brooms....he ended up having some job where he rode a cart and "oiled" the assembly line. I am sure it was inefficient and bloated, but the car industry was good for the mid-west.
My older brother got on at Lorain Ford in the 70s but quit... he could not handle the line. He was more the truck driver type...that is what he ended up doing.
Even if you did not work at one of the plants those factories were the local economy, along with the steel factories.
