☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑‍💻“A job in industry is also now harder to attain. Modern <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/factories" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#factories</a> are high-tech, run by <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/engineers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#engineers</a> and <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/technicians" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#technicians</a>. In the early 1980s <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/BlueCollar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BlueCollar</a> assemblers, machine operators and repair workers made up more than half of the <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/manufacturing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#manufacturing</a> workforce. Today they account for less than a third. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Whitecollar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Whitecollar</a> professionals outnumber blue-collar factory-floor workers by a wide margin. Even once obtained, a <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/FactoryJob" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FactoryJob</a> is far less likely to be unionised than in previous decades, with membership having fallen from one in four workers in the 1980s to less than one in ten today.In order to find the modern equivalent of such jobs, we looked for <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/employment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#employment</a> with the same traits. What offers decent <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/pay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pay</a>, <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/unionisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#unionisation</a>, requires no <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/degree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#degree</a> and can soak up the male workforce? The result: mechanics, repair technicians, security workers and the skilled trades.”<<a href="https://archive.md/L1J7W" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://archive.md/L1J7W</a>> (paywall) / <<a href="https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/06/10/factory-work-is-overrated-here-are-the-jobs-of-the-future" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/06/10/factory-work-is-overrated-here-are-the-jobs-of-the-future</a>>
