I'm not so sure of this. I have lots of trade friends/acquaintances/family members because my family runs a construction business. I know lots of people in the trades who are struggling and can't afford to own a house in the "cheap" midwest. Some are 30 and have been at it for several years and still live with their parents or shake up 6+ to a rented 3 bedroom. They are skilled too, mechanics, electricians, welders. The old dudes running the business make bank, for sure. But the people turning the wrenches are still getting the shaft.
