I do not have a citation. Are you aware of any combination of industries that have emerged in the last 30 years that have produced strong demand for unskilled or semi-skilled labor? Housing & construction hasn't blown up, manufacturing sector jobs have vanished. Mining is in sharp decline. Forestry has automated away most of it's workforce. Infrastructure is also in the toilet. So what am I missing?

Basically hiring people to dig and fill up white-collared holes.

It will take time, most likely a generation.

The generation preceding the current generation will be better educated and take-on the more skill demanding jobs.

What more skill demanding jobs, specifically? Where?
