It's (ironically enough) a problem of unequal distributions. There are lots of not-college-educated lineworkers at auto plants that rake in lavish benefits while equally qualified (modulo experience) younger people who would love the work can't get in.

But then, that's only to be expected from above-market-rate wages...

Yes, combined with the facts that workers in China, Mexico, and many other places will do the same work for a tiny fraction of EU wages, and can also be fired at will rather than enjoy extensive worker protection laws such as in Europe.
