If the trades do repair work for a consumer then NO wealth is created.

Really?

Huh.  I'd have thot that someone who dug up a pile of rust at a junk yard and restored it into a $30k mint condition Model T was creating a lot of wealth.

They did. And so does anyone else that converts the sweat of their brow into something of value. (wealth)

The entity in the above graph that does NOT create any wealth, is in fact...government.

And actually that's impossible. You have to discover and maybe dust off a perfect-condition article, in order for it to be in "mint condition".
