I'm not sure how many of them are more complex than truck driving but it's safe to say that there are plenty of employers looking for workers.
- close04 1y ago> I'm not sure You started with a number you don't understand as the answer to a question I certainly did understand when asking. You went from "increased skills jobs are so much better for people" to "maybe they'll find some job, I'm not sure". But the average trucker won't find good job in finance, IT, or health. The jobs either aren't better (better work, better pay), or they're not realistically reachable by a normal trucker (easy enough to upskill to make it likely). Employers aren't usually looking to hire old and inexperienced former truckers when the competition is either people with experience on that job or youngsters willing to take lower pay because they don't have a family to support.
