People digging ditches is a requirement for a functional modern society. When a general strike happens the ditch diggers and their friends will be the ones wielding the power they forgot they had all along. I strongly recommend not looking down upon people who work with their hands. It's very bad decorum, and their shovels are sharp.

The problem there is they can make cars in Korea.

But they can't dig ditches in Korea and export them to the U.S.

Sure they can who do you think is digging ditches in the USA? People with questionable immigration status or criminal record who have no other choices that’s who.
