Doesn't matter, they don't have the skills to do those jobs. There seems to be a pervasive idea you only have to show up and be willing, to earn good money... not so. Yeah, yeah, I know your Cousin Louie's neighbor's friend is making $100k right out of high school. His father or father-in-law own the business, or he's doing something illegal. Decent money is not in labor, it's in
skilled trades. Electricians, plumbers, machinists, CNC operators, etc, need a tremendous amount of knowledge to do their job properly. The schools have closed, and the apprentice system has all but dried up, largely a result of the jobs being exported.
