Is this a major consequence of 1994's NAFTA and the relative ease of moving manufacturing jobs to Mexico, vice the service/healthcare jobs being tied to populations themselves?

Yes. I'm not sure what else has gone on, but NAFTA and the US China Relations Act sweaping all of the manufacturing out of the country could account for the whole change between the two maps.
