Blue collar workers

Anyone watch channel 4 world news tonight . They say that blue collar workers are in huge demand , making 50K+ for 10 months work . All these tech schools are booked and so on? auto mechanics , landscapers , skilled trades .

Granted im from a ****hole city , but are there any other union skilled trades guys other than me laid off right now?

And are there any non-union guys out there making these wages? I know here you dont make **** unless in the union for the most part .

Is where you live booming like there saying?

Don't believe everything you hear in the liberal (I mean mainstream) media.
