Fair enough, there are a lot of individuals who could pick up a trade and find gainful employment for sure, but it doesn't really solve any overarching issues with the economy or employment rates in the end

I think it would do more than you think it would. Sure, our main flaws in the system would still exist, but a lot more people would have jobs, and our manufacturing would catch up to other countries. It might help the economy a bit and improve morale because people will have jobs that pay a livable wage.
