What do you do with a retail clerk that is 40 years old with no vocational education? Today's menial wage jobs will be automated or robotized where possible for cost efficiencies. Turning back the hands of time is not a viable solution.
There's a need for skilled trades. Send them to a vocational school to learn one.
