This is a very good phenomenon, the employment environment of ordinary people is improving at an accelerated pace, but many people ignore it!
During this time, a "blue-collar rise has become a common phenomenon" has become a hot search topic. Under this topic, many netizens are complaining, saying that they carry coffee every day, go in and out of high-end office buildings, sit in the office and do glamorous work in the eyes of others, but their income is not as good as that of blue-collar groups. Some people also said that now they can't hire a migrant worker for 3,000 yuan, but they can easily hire a college student.
Of course, this is also the case. This phenomenon of blue-collar workers starting to surpass white-collar workers has become more common. According to the "2023 China Blue-Collar Group Employment Research Report" recently released by the China New Employment Form Research Center, among China's 747 million employed population, the scale of blue-collar workers has reached 400 million, accounting for more than 53%, almost twice that of white-collar workers. And, in the past 2023, the average monthly income of the blue-collar group is 6,043 yuan. Among them, the average monthly income of the top three confinement sisters, truck drivers, and delivery workers exceeded 6,800 yuan.
In fact, there are two main reasons for this phenomenon. First, the skill requirements for blue-collar jobs are constantly improving. Unlike in the past, modern blue-collar workers are no longer just engaged in simple manual labor, but need to master certain professional skills and practical experience.
Second, with the country's emphasis on and support for skilled talents, the development prospects of blue-collar occupations are becoming more and more broad. In addition, the increase in new forms of employment has also provided more flexible and free, more rewarding jobs and high income certainty for ordinary employment groups. Especially like delivery people, couriers, and so on.
I have to say that this is a very good phenomenon for ordinary employment groups. First, employment options have become wider. In the past, groups with relatively low educational qualifications did not have many job choices and relatively low incomes. But nowadays, in addition to middle and senior technicians, delivery couriers and riders also earn a lot of money. More work, more rewards, flexibility and freedom are also high. Some people even say that running a takeaway in the county town is the best job for ordinary people besides being a civil servant.
Across all developed countries, blue-collar workers generally earn more than the average white-collar worker. However, because there has never been a shortage of working people in China, for a long time, the income of white-collar workers far exceeded that of working people. However, with the popularization of nine-year compulsory education and the continuous progress of social development, the income structure of China's white-collar and blue-collar workers will become more and more similar to that of developed countries. In the future, blue-collar workers with certain skilled technology and professional skills will expect to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month!
