Still, try getting a job here in Central NC that pays more than $10/hour w/o a degree.
And don’t give me crap about hypothetical “skilled trades.” The illegals have those nailed down.
That awful book learnin’ is the only answer...

Well...move. That’s what people do, they move to the jobs. Depending on what you’re skill set is, be willing to go to the Dakotas where all sorts of jobs are plentiful. Most people that I’ve found that are chronically unemployed are stuck or trapped by geography and lack of imagination.
Once it became legally onerous to administer tests for job qualifications the requirement to possess a degree became the default test for an employment app.
Not here to give you crap but I find it hard to believe that illegals have the language skills to pass the licensing tests for plumber or electrician. Most states require apprentice time to be verified by a licensed journeyman before you can even apply to take the licensing tests.
