There's a shortage of people going into trades.

Culture plays a big role in this.

Traditionally these kinds of jobs were associated with having a lower socio-economic status. Low level of education, back-breaking work, low wages etc.

As the masses flocked towards more sophisticated types of work, such as sitting all day in an office and having your humanity being sucked out of you by a computer monitor, the economic tides have started to shift in favor of manual labor once again.

Whenever there is high demand and low supply, price will go up.
It doesn't matter if you clean toilets or write software for NASA. As long as your job is difficult enough to prevent everyone and their dog to enter your industry, chances are you are going to make some big bucks.

Case in point: @Johnny boy makes bank by cutting grass.


It's all about supply and demand.

The economy will pivot once again, as soon as enough people realize they can make more money cleaning roofs, than working at an office with their underwater basket weaving degree.
