Many of these jobs are entry level,part time or just seasonal employment and should have a much lower wage than year round full time skilled positions

Most business only net 10% before taxes.
That is why competent management is so important and so rare.
Because full time year round is a more sought after employment status for many reasons... and can include benefits not calculated in the average wage... part-time seasonal should be a higher wage.
Construction used to be seasonal, we are starting to overcome that fallacy.
