New figures to be released on Thursday are expected to show that the US economy grew between July and September. But for many Americans the pain is still dragging on. More than 200 years ago, Slater Mill in Rhode Island helped kick off America's industrial revolution. For centuries, manufacturing, mainly in textile mills, provided jobs in this small north-eastern state, but not anymore.
