I'd argue that manufacturing is also too broad of a category to be useful as something to mention, and every similar statement of "X industry is basically hiring anyone" rarely ends up being true in a practical way. It always needs to be qualified somehow, and usually by a lack of competition in the physical region of the facilities. That's my impression anyway, I'm sure everyone's experience varies, but people are getting ghosted for all kinds of jobs. Within tech, people often suggest going to work for government or some big corp that's not FAANG as the backup path, but you still need to go through similar hiring gauntlets or live down the street from the office, or in the capital, or meet a lot more of the silly list of requirements up front, or have specific certs, and they still need to be hiring
