It's a different world today. USA can not rely on large manufacturing company jobs. Unions destroyed them and there are much lower manufacturing wages across the water. The jobs are out there in the USA. The underemployed and unemployed (who want to work) do not have the appropriate skills/education for the openings.

I had three children graduate in the last three years. They selected appropriate fields..........fields they like and are in demand. One had a job six months before graduation and the other two got jobs just prior to graduation. Three different fields of study, but the placement rates for all three fields were in excess of 90%.
