Whenever graduation season is approaching, a large number of graduates say that it is difficult to find a job.
"Difficulty in finding employment" has also become a big problem in today's society.
"Unemployment after graduation" has also become a phenomenon that many people recognize, but there are still many industries in society that are facing a labor shortage, and many young people are unwilling to work even if they offer tens of thousands of salaries.
So what are these industries? Why are young people reluctant to do it?

No one in the construction industry goes
On the construction site, it used to be a hot scene. Everywhere you look, you can see workers in overalls and hard hats busy, some operating cranes at heights, some pushing building materials on the ground, others building scaffolding outdoors, sweat glistening on their rough faces.
However, this has been fading in recent years, as the construction industry faces a severe shortage of manpower.
High incomes used to be the biggest temptation to join the ranks of construction workers.
It is understood that an ordinary small worker can earn 200 to 300 yuan a day, while skilled workers such as carpenters, electricians, bricklayers, etc., have a higher daily salary, or even double directly.
In a month, the income can reach an enviable amount of about 10,000 yuan.
Nowadays, however, even such a decent salary is not attractive to young people.
The reason for this is, first of all, the harsh working environment on construction sites.
On a scorching summer day, they operated outdoors, sweat soaking through their vests; In the cold and windy winter, their hands were frozen with ice slag.
The construction site was dusty and noisy, making it impossible to catch your breath.
Today's young people are more interested in a comfortable lifestyle, and they are reluctant to crawl in such a harsh environment.
Second, the intensity and danger of construction workers are almost unmatched.
They often need to carry heavy building materials, climb towering steel frames, and are in a high-risk state for long periods of time, which is prone to accidents such as falling from heights and striking objects.
It's not hard to see why many construction workers have old scars on their bodies.
It can be said that this is a job that can cost lives at any time. Modern young people are more focused on quality of life and are naturally reluctant to take such risks.
In addition, the instability of wages in the construction industry is also prohibitive for young people.
As a construction worker, what they fear most is the difficulty in closing the project payment.
Before the start of the project, although you can get some living expenses, the real salary will not be finally settled until the end of the whole project and the final payment.
However, construction projects are generally long in duration, and there are often cases of non-payment for the works, resulting in workers not receiving their due remuneration on time.
With their incomes eroded, it has become extremely difficult for workers to defend their rights.
In addition to these, there are many other obstacles to the construction worker industry.
For example, the threshold for employment is constantly increasing, and technical jobs such as electricians and welders need to be certified and need to undergo special training; In addition, traditional construction models and processes are challenged to be replaced by new technologies.
All these factors combine to make the profession of construction worker gradually lose its appeal.
Today's young people are generally highly educated, pursue a high-quality lifestyle, and are unwilling to work hard in such a harsh environment.
Many parents are also desperate to let their children go to college, just to be able to make a living, and even the workers working on the construction site bluntly say that they do not want their children to continue to work in their own work.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer young people on construction sites, replaced by groups of old employees, trying to deliver the last vitality to the industry.
No one in the transportation industry dares
As the backbone of the trucking industry, heavy truck drivers have a heavy and dangerous duty on their shoulders.
They drove dozens of tons of steel behemoths back and forth across rugged mountain roads and straight highways, transporting raw materials for factories and goods for merchants.
Although the salary of this profession attracts many people, it is actually very dangerous.
And the greatest danger is the risk of a car accident that can occur at any time on the road.
When a heavy truck loaded with cargo crashes away at 80 yards per hour, it's powerful enough to knock everything in the road into the air.
Minor car damage and injuries, serious death and injury are unpredictable.
According to statistics, thousands of terrorist car accidents occur every year in large cargo trucks, and innocent passers-by are also innocent victims.
Whenever a large truck is involved in a car accident, there is almost always a case of unfortunate death.
After the tragedy, people who were shocked realized that the lives of the truck drivers were also in danger.
They are basically tied to death every day, and a small mistake can lead to an irreparable tragedy.
In addition, driving a heavy truck for a long time also takes a huge toll on the body.
In the cramped cockpit, the drivers held one position for a long time, and the lumbar and cervical spines were as stiff as rust.
The bumpy carriage also hurt their spine a lot, and many old drivers were extremely sore after running in the car.
What's even more terrifying is that they also have to worry about their personal safety.
A lonely car on the dark road, so alone, is the most vulnerable to robbers.
Once you are robbed, you can only obey obediently, otherwise you will be in danger of losing your life.
So, for truck drivers, driving is not just a truck, it's like a dynamite truck, and they can be violently attacked at any time.
And to become a qualified heavy truck driver, the threshold is also extremely high.
Not only do you need years of driving experience, but you also have to hold a various types of driver's licenses that are recognized by the state.
These licenses have always been extremely difficult to examine, much more difficult than the average family car.
Such a high bar is undoubtedly to ensure that the person driving the heavy truck has sufficient professional competence to avoid causing tragedy.
However, even with such a high level of occupational risk, the compensation packages available to heavy truck drivers do not seem to be commensurate with them.
If you want to get a salary of tens of thousands of yuan a month, then you must either be very skilled in technology, or you will have more sports cars, and you may not be able to rest for a few days a month.
According to statistics, nearly half of the truck drivers work an average of more than 12 hours a day.
In the face of such a high-risk, high-intensity and limited-reward profession, fewer and fewer people are engaged in this job.
No one is doing it in manufacturing
The shortage of labor in the manufacturing industry has been a topic that has attracted much attention.
Nowadays, more and more young people are turning away from jobs in the manufacturing industry, which makes it even more difficult for companies to recruit workers.
The reason for this phenomenon is not only the issue of salary, but also the concern of young people about the lifestyle and development prospects of this industry.
First of all, there is a three-shift work system in the manufacturing industry.
In order to maximize the utilization of equipment and at the same time maximize output, most plants operate 24 hours a day.
As a result, workers are mostly divided into three shifts, working in shifts day and night.
As soon as the workers return home from the night shift, they have to quickly go into sleep mode, otherwise they will have no energy for the next work; As soon as the workers on the night shift woke up from their dreams, they were about to leave for their workshop posts. The biological clock is repeatedly disrupted, which will inevitably affect health over time.
What's even more tricky is that it is difficult for the body's circadian rhythm to fully adapt to this reversal of work and rest. Night shift workers insist on working despite heat and drowsiness, which will inevitably cause some safety hazards.
For example, there is a mistake in operation, or a lack of concentration causes a production accident.
Secondly, the monotonous assembly line work in the manufacturing industry is even more daunting for young people.
On the assembly line, workers are like mechanical accessories, and each person is only responsible for completing repetitive or even untechnical work.
For example, screwing a screw, installing a gasket, day after day, year after year.
The novelty at the beginning is quickly smoothed out, and you can only numbly complete the same action every day, and there is no creativity at all.
Long-term repetition of the same action not only affects the enthusiasm of workers, but also easily leads to physical or psychological fatigue.
On the assembly line, you can always see the numb and empty eyes of the workers.
Some of them have lost their original passion, and some even wonder if they are also assembled on this endless assembly line.
Young people are mostly reluctant to spend their most precious youth in such a boring job.
More importantly, there is a lack of clear career paths for manufacturing jobs.
Once you're in the pipeline, it's hard to get out of this closed loop.
Unless there is a perfect training mechanism within the enterprise, the chances of grassroots workers to obtain technical improvement are quite slim.
Most of them can only stop in the same position, and can only watch their lives pass by little by little in repetitive labor.
In contrast, the emerging Internet industry and financial industry are more attractive.
Young people can learn cutting-edge ideas and technologies and gain space for career development.
Even though the wages and benefits in the manufacturing industry have surpassed those of most companies, not many young people are still willing to go.
If you ask a young person around you, especially a young person who has come out of college, you ask him whether he would like to work in a bright office and earn 3,000 yuan a month, or go to a factory to work as an assembly line, but he has 10,000 yuan a month.
Many people may say that they want a job that is stable and can be improved.
Indeed, the work in the assembly line is repetitive without room for improvement, and there is not much to learn, and most young people hope to be rewarded and be able to learn more in their own work.
In order to recapture the hearts and minds of young people in the manufacturing industry, it is difficult to simply increase salaries, and it is necessary to reform and optimize the working environment and training mechanism.
Otherwise, the dilemma of labor shortage will only become more and more severe.
There was a very popular sentence before, "Education is a high platform that I can't get off, and it's also a long shirt that Kong Yiji can't take off." ”
Whether it is the parents or the students themselves, they have a deep-rooted idea in their hearts.
That is, I have been studying hard for 12 years or even more years, and after I come out, I want to do some decent and high-paying jobs, and I want to grow up.
Now when they go to the construction site or the assembly line, they can't pull it off at all, just like Kong Yiji's long shirt that he can't take off.
But people don't have three, six, nine, and so on, and there is no work, and the money earned by their own efforts is spent with peace of mind.
Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, any proper profession is worthy of our respect.
