PITTSBURGH - The shuttered Westinghouse plant that looms over this western Pennsylvania town -- a huge cathedral of brick and steel -- used to build generators that supplied power to much of America. - A bygone way of life -Such is life in America's so-called Rust Belt -- a strip of the northeastern and midwestern US -- in this era of de-industrialization. The dormant yellow cranes inside this cavernous plant are a testament to a bygone way of life. That's all the more reason, McLaren said, why Trump's promise to restore the old way of life may be less attainable than some would like. - The end of 'jobs for life' -One lamentable fact of this new American economy is that jobs for life appear to be a thing of the past.
