In Australia, "Blue Collar" jobs are paid extremely high. A normal tradesperson (builders, electricians, plumbers, etc.) earns $125,000 pa, and specialist commercial construction people may earn over $300,000.
Even a retired person doing minor repairs or gardening charges over $80 per hr.

I’m guessing most older people aren’t quitting the rat race to do things that are tough on the joints the way trades are. (Acknowledging that retail and fast food do require a lot of standing, but they aren’t physical in quite the same way.)
