Forbes catalogues the best-paying blue-collar jobs in America
Let it be noted that even these "blue-collar" jobs mainly involve a high degree of technical sophistication. That's the mark of an advanced society. Unfortunately, a lot of economic populists talk of "manufacturing jobs" as though Americans can get wealthy working low-skill factory line jobs like Laverne and Shirley. The reality is that there is lots of money to be made in all parts of the economy -- including in manufacturing -- but only by those who are willing and able to learn enough to differentiate themselves from those who just want to exist in a certain space and time for a set number of hours a day. Robots can perform many of those chores, and increasingly do. Humans are needed where creativity and mental power are required -- blue-collar, white-collar, pink-collar, and green-collar situations alike. But the days of rote work leading to a satisfying lifestyle are quite over.
