Maybe so. Except that a lot of these jobs are located in areas where the cost of living exceeds the wages those jobs would pay, or the conditions would be miserable. Who would want to work for a warehouse that is owned by Amazon, with their long hours and timed bathroom breaks?

You also have a lot of young America's who went to college without any idea on what they want to get out of their degrees, because their families and schools told them they had to go to college. Those young Americans have a lot of college debt that they cannot declare bankruptcy on, and those jobs that are there do not pay enough to help pay these debts off. Furthermore, I doubt you would like to work in a sewer after spending four years and racking in $100,000 of debt for a degree. When you simply could have worked in that sewer with just a high school diploma.
