The question isn't even about pay anymore, a lot of these low skilled high paying jobs have unions or are controlled by a trade association so getting in the hard part. I can attest to that in canada this is the cash, just because a longshoreman makes 45$/h doesn't mean you can just walk up to their shop and get a job; the union controls it and unless you have in it's going to get hard.

Except for higher skilled union jobs like plumber or electrician. You can find a non union job that pays the same as union jobs and without paying union dues.
