But now the series has taken on new significance as the nation faces a massive labor shortage, especially when it comes to skilled trades. And it\u2019s coming back in 2022 just in time for that crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Rowe said fans have been begging him to bring the series back ever since it ended in 2012. The 59-year-old host told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/dirty-jobs-star-mike-rowe-new-season-hiring\">Fox News<\/a> he \u201cran out of ideas\u201d for dirty, dangerous, and surprising jobs to feature way back in season 3, but fans have kept the concept going with their suggestions and contributions. And now with the COVID-19 pandemic thrown in, there\u2019s never been a better time to highlight these \u201cdirty\u201d jobs and hopefully help fill some of them.<\/p>\n<p>During the Fox News interview, Rowe explained how the biggest shock of the series reboot in 2022 wasn\u2019t the jobs themselves, which had been the case in the past. Rather it was that no one was applying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the jobs that were surprising this time around,\u201d the Emmy Award-winning TV host said. \u201cIt\u2019s something they all have in common, which is difficulty in recruiting. We just had four and a half million people quit their jobs in this country. We\u2019ve got 11 million open positions right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, discussing how the new challenge was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/upwards-of-40-of-workers-are-thinking-about-quitting-their-jobs-report\">affecting every industry<\/a>. But it\u2019s been prevalent among blue collar industries long before COVID-19 changed the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe theme that keeps coming back, again and again, is how difficult it is to find people who want to learn a skill that\u2019s in demand,\u201d the Discovery Channel host explained. \u201cSomeone who shows up early, stays late and isn\u2019t afraid to get their hands dirty. It\u2019s a real challenge. And that comes through this season in a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rowe went on to discuss earning potential for these types of positions especially. He continued, saying \u201cthey\u2019re actively hiring\u201d but there aren\u2019t enough interested people to fill the slots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just figure people don\u2019t want these jobs because they\u2019re dirty and difficult. But the truth is that with many of these jobs you can make six figures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Rowe is committed to fixing the problem first by highlighting these positions on \u201cDirty Jobs\u201d and second by providing training to anyone who wants it. His organization mikeroweWORKS helps teach the basics of these hands-on, in-demand trades and sponsors kids who want to learn the skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And bringing \u201cDirty Jobs\u201d back to TV is meant to instruct and entertain. Because the jobs may be dirty, but they\u2019re also fun and lucrative, the host says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, it\u2019s fun to talk about all the big themes and all the important ideas around work and education. But it\u2019s also entertainment,\u201d Rowe told Fox News. \u201cIt\u2019s a love letter to hard work. It\u2019s a love letter to risk and entrepreneurship. Mostly it\u2019s a nod to jobs that are still out of sight, out of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cI hope people see it for what it really is, which is not a show. It\u2019s a trip. You know, there are no second takes. There\u2019s no scripting, no writing, no rehearsing, no acting. It\u2019s an honest look at a hard day\u2019s work through the eyes of an apprentice. I hope people see it for what it is and watch it to have a few laughs and maybe learn a thing or two about something they didn\u2019t know they would care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDirty Jobs\u201d airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Discovery and streaming on Discovery+.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
