It's not exactly that simple. I know an employer in the cabinetry field. It's not genius work in the shop but you can't be asleep.

He pays guys $60k+ and some approach $100k for dependable people that known the field. He has trouble finding people.

The town is full of hundreds of healthy males working for Walmart, oil change shops, non commission retail, and all those sorts.

There is some kind of issue that makes it so someone will work stocking a grocery store for $40k a year instead of screwing a cabinet together for $60k, with opportunities to make it up to $100k in the shop and up to $140k in the office as a project manager once you really know how things are built.
