[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3987081, member: 51836"] You're not far from truth at all in that observation. I grew up in SE Oklahoma which is known (or was) as Little Dixie. Not much middle class , you either had money or you didn't for the most part. That part of the world has always been feast or famine and the people who do well typically do anything and everything they can to get ahead. People who had the "good jobs" worked most of the time for the county or state cause those were the gigs with pensions . If you were really lucky back in those days you were able to get a job at the Ammo Plant which landing a position there was almost like winning the PowerBall for some folks. Mining was pretty much dead by the 70's in a lot of places down there , and if you didn't have one of the "good jobs" above then you were working in the oil/ gas patch or skidding logs. When the oil patch goes bust people tried to find something else to do . I remember my grand father working two jobs for years and he was most assuredly skilled labor but it just didn't matter if the job didn't exist anymore. [/QUOTE]
