Manual laborers (distinct from skilled labor like plumbers or electricians) will never have high status because the job is, relatively speaking, easy to attain. The pay will certainly fix the staffing problem but it will never be a high status career unless the pay gets you to a cushy retirement 15 years earlier than a desk job.
