You earlier described the position as "screwing a cabinet together for $60k", when you wondered why a stocker making $40K wouldn't want to change jobs.
Now you are describing a position which requires non-trivial training.
How long does it take to learn those skills? Who pays for the training?
https://www.carpenterstraininginstitute.org/apprenticeship-p... says "To graduate from cabinet maker apprentice to journeyworker, you’ll complete 7,000 hours of on-the-job training (OJT) and 640 hours of classroom learning." That's much more training than needed for stocking. It gives these statistics for the carpenters training as a whole:
Average earnings for all first-year students:
$33,436 – $46,363 + benefits*
Average earnings for all second-year students:
$45,600 – $63,200 + benefits
Average earnings for all third-year students:
$51,666 – $71,646 + benefits*
Average earnings for all fourth-year students:
$57,748 – $80,077 + benefits*
Journeyperson
$60,789 – $84,295 + benefits*
Foreman
$72,485 – $97,010 + benefits*
which again means $60K/year requires a lot more training than being a stock clerk.
Can you point to a job listing for this sort of position? I looked and found roughly comparable positions, but paying less than $80K.

"The Craftsworker, Carpenter position focuses on carpentry and basic construction related projects/repairs. The position requires good math skills and the ability to think outside of the box. Experience in set design or custom woodworking is a plus. The Craftsworker, Carpenter works with a variety of materials, such as wood, fiberglass, rebar and concrete. The Craftsworker, Carpenter is often called upon to build/construct things that don’t come with blueprints or an instruction manual; they are built to specifications of the client and/or to fit in an allotted amount of space. Projects can vary from day to day, based on work orders, department requests, routine maintenance, or capital projects. Tasks can include such things as roofing; fencing; wood structure repairs; fixing doors/door hardware; installing door systems and windows; fixing ADA building access buttons; fixing shift doors in an animal enclosure; constructing safety fences/barriers for an exhibit; designing and building an automatic animal feeder disguised to look like a tree; or constructing various exhibit elements such as artificial plants, rocks or trees." paying $30/hour. That's far more than cabinet working and still only $60K/year.
