Do you have reason to think the trades have enough aggregate demand to soak up the entire underemployed population at reasonable wages or is that wishful thinking?

Another question is if this underemployed population could see such great gains by moving to these fields why haven't they already? It may be that they aren't capable of doing these jobs.
