I'd much rather stay on welfare/parents basement and play video games all day than move to oklahoma and work min wage
The contractor who just renovated my house in Colorado is actively looking for a low-skill, high-effort worker for $35/hour.
The mason who did some stone work for me is looking for an apprentice and will pay $25/hour.
The electrician in my area is moving away, leaving a huge gap in the market. He earns well north of $200k/year.
The jobs are out there.
The jobs are out there AND DO NOT PAY ENOUGH TO LIVE IN THE AREAS THEY ARE IN.
And before some genius comes in and says "Well don't live in those expensive cities then", those expensive cities still want burgers and stocked store shelves and everything else, they just don't want to pay people enough to live off of.
