Not all locals talk with the accent, especially if they didn't grow up in a blue collar neighborhood with millworkers as family members. The accent is pretty rare in higher income families.

You are right. My parents are both very blue collar and from a long line of immigrant/steel mill workers. I’m proud of it! Can’t deny that in our day in age that WE (millennials/Gen Z/Gen X) cannot walk into a professional situation and start saying THE STOCKS ARE DAHN, DEM RAIZES ARNET COMMIN, OPEN UP YER COMPUTER. BE CAREFUL, THE FLOOR IS SLIPPY. I NEED TO GUMBAND THESE FINANCE REPORTS”.
