There is less opportunity and upside for people working in those blue collar jobs than there once was. Both immediate - like their ability to afford housing, transportation, and food let alone raising a family comfortably - and long term in the form of career paths.
If you’re 35 years old and an auto mechanic it is difficult to envision buying a house, raising a family, and owning your own garage against the backdrop of today’s financial and cultural landscape.
I believe people respond to incentives and so work consistent with the outcomes they believe are attainable.
