A lot of people don't want to do trade jobs, but that where they need people and also pay shit. Electricians, mechanics etc. The amount of stuff you have to know to be a mechanic now is rediculous, and yet they get paid shit or the dealer or manufacturer takes 90% of the earnings from the mechanics.
Tradespeople in Canada get paid better than white collar workers on average.
Tradespeople get paid better than labourers or service workers.
I don't know where you live that the opposite is true.
Telecoms tradespeople in Canada are paid like absolute garbage. They used to be (and some still are, but they're dwindling) part of the steelworker's union, but they were hit hard by union busting, so now the majority are contractors who get paid by the job. This means a full 5 hour run of fibre to get a home set up pays the same as plugging a single wire in at the CO. But it's luck of tue draw, and with the telcos cutting corners on everything, the "plug in a wire" jobs are like unicorns.
Plus the rack people have all been laid off, so the guys have to do that job on top of their own, and the IT side has all been offshored to folks who are not trained or paid enough to be competent. So what should be a 45 minute job that they could do 11 of in a single day now takes 2 hours, meaning they're only getting paid for 4.
It would not surprise me if other blue collar industries started following suit.
