I think you said you work in a factory, right? And I've worked in a couple of different factories in my lifetime and even ran a small one for a little while. Neither of the factories I worked in wre bad places to work, we got breaks, we could go to the bathroom or get a drink of water when we needed to, and we even got limited benefits like sick days and vacation.
In my experience, nobody really wanted to work there. They wanted the paycheck, and the work was within their skill set. Everybody there still wished they had a better job. Nobody wanted to make a lateral move, from the factory to fast food or retail sales, but they still all dreamed of getting out of there and getting a high-paid desk job or starting their own businesses. They were content enough with their work and conditions, but they all wanted more. The smarter ones worried what would happen when they were too old or physically unfit to do the job any more.
So it's not glamorous work, it's physically demanding and often dirty or too hot or too cold. Little kids don't dream "When I grow up, I want to work in a factory." But at the same time, a lot of people will do the work that's required willingly and without too much complaint if the pay is decent, there are safety measures, and they get a few benefits, particularly if there's a deficit of good jobs in the area. They're not going to say that in an internet poll though, they're going to talk about their dreams, not reality.
