Yup, I change jobs simply because they pay £1/hr more than the last, every pennies count.
These are jobs that don’t have promotion, which is a keys factor.

If you've got people in a shit job requiring few quals and there's another new job line opening up paying more, people will move.
Generally true, but I suspect that the people on wages which make an HGV driving job attractive won't have the savings to cover not working while they train for a Class I HGV licence, let alone the costs of getting one. And many companies won't invest in training staff if, at the end of the training, they get poached by a competitor offering slightly higher wages.

If you've got people in a shit job requiring few quals and there's another new job line opening up paying more, people will move. Why do uber etc manage to get people on board? Because there's the prospect of earning more (prospect not actual earn). I'm not saying "don't pay them more". I'm saying "this is not going to be as easy as "pay them more!"".
Or not. I may or may not have said that.
