I am somewhat doubtful of this. It's not like trades went away... but they are unattractive for other reasons. Here is Europe at least, they are full of old right-wing guys that demand servitude and cultural assimilation from young people joining apprenticeships, and few make it to the grueling end after some years, and even fewer want to continue with the same shop afterwards.

We've seen a real boom-bust over here, on the other side of the pond from you. Part of it has been tied to oil, at least in my neck of the woods.

Yes, plenty of right wingers here too in the trades, but that's par for the course in my province. Not necessarily toxic work environments like they used to be, or what you are describing, but still rough and tumble
