Blue Collar and Manual Services Jobs Are In High Demand
April 09, 2021 | Chart
As in-person services began re-opening in early 2021, blue-collar and manual services occupations grew rapidly in demand and remain elevated (Chart below). Built-up demand following months of state-imposed restrictions resulted in the need for more workers to provide these services. This high demand is likely a major cause of recruiting difficulties many employers are experiencing in 2021.
