The concern is very alarming this is because if limited young ones are willing to work in these traditional structures (Oil, Agriculture, manufacturing, etc.) how will they grow? The Gen Z workers (that is people born between 1997 - 2012) were the first to prioritize flexibility, personal well-being, and as well as intelligent usage. Of course, the internet money is way higher than low-paying jobs in those sectors, they can either choose to start their own social media accounts that would endorse them or pursue freelance work rather than entering the traditional workforce.

Not all young people understand how to make money on the internet because maybe they don't understand how it works. Also, not all young people are successful when working in this sector, which makes them try working in the traditional sector.
Freelancing requires intelligence when you want to do it because you need promotional skills to attract people's interests. This makes it difficult for some young people to develop because if they don't have the ability it is difficult to develop in this job.

So if there is a way to create balance and bring more young people to have interest in the traditional workforce what would you think of? I was thinking that increasing minimum wages and granting more benefits like health, rent to mention a few would help
For work like the one you mentioned above, health costs, house rent and minimum wages will definitely be covered.
The only thing that is a little problematic is perhaps in the agricultural sector because this job does not guarantee health costs and house rent for workers.
The younger generation now wants to work in a more relaxed manner and finds it difficult to follow company systems, which makes them uncomfortable.
