   so they do want to do it, but you want a ready-made skilled worker you can pay minimum wage

     @deprecated_ii skilled labor, especially for physically intensive jobs, there is more demand than there is supply. Even if you are willing to pay them well. (the business I have association with, after covid, was having to pay them like they were engineers with years of relevant experience xD)
     
     It got even worse after covid. I think the vax culled a lot of people in a critical age range.
     
     I'll add the qualification that, a majority of the available people will either steal from you, or will do such a poor quality job that it creates more work for your company. (also had a few that, just didn't want to work, they do just enough so it is hard to tell, but they are doing fucking nothing if no one is watching).

     @hazlin there is no lack of honest people who like working with their hands. the workforce that exists didn't materialize from thin air, it was built with on the job training that nobody does anymore, and paid a lot better relative to cost of living when the existing old fart workforce originally joined up
     
     now they expect you to spend several years and a big pile of money before they'll even talk to you, and starting pay is 2/3 what you need to live in poverty. of course hardly anyone wants to do it
