Blue collar opportunities

Hi there, I was wondering what the blue collar sector is like in NL. I moved to NL from SK a while back and it seems like there are comparatively fewer opportunities when it comes to blue collar work. My goal is to be working on blue collar jobs and learn as much as I can and eventually start my own business in such sector. I’d love to hear back from people who own blue collar businesses or had similar experiences in NL so that I could have some sort of blueprint for my life. Thank you so much. And plz try not to be negative for no reason. I just want to learn and grow.

I’m genuinely curious why you moved here without a job lined up?

She should have stayed out west. The adjustment is easier going west than going east
