N0John Deere is moving key manufacturing jobs from the U.S. to Mexico, laying off over 600 workers in Iowa and Illinois. These aren’t just job cuts they’re community-shaking losses in towns built around these factories. It’s part of a bigger trend: American companies offshoring for cheaper labor, while U.S. workers pay the price.
