Manual labor is getting more and more expensive, do you still feel undignified?

Have you found a problem, manual labor is really more and more valuable, I believe that the future will be more valuable, there is a recent hot search, saying that the average monthly salary of China's blue-collar workers in 23 years is more than 6000 yuan, which is 2 of the average monthly income of blue-collar workers in 12 years of 268426 times, if this income is in the first-tier north, it is indeed a gap from the senior white-collar workers, but if it is placed in the third-tier cities, and even some second-tier cities, it is enough to exceed many ordinary white-collar workers, and some people even say that 3000 yuan can not recruit migrant workers, but can recruit a college student, so why is manual labor more and more valuable, but college students are becoming more and more depreciated?

In 1999, in the face of the impact of the Asian financial crisis, many enterprises were on the verge of bankruptcy, and state-owned enterprises could no longer accept college students on a large scale as before, so how to digest the sudden extra labor? We did two things, the first thing, cancel the iron rice bowl of college students, let college students find jobs on their own, many college students, since then into the private enterprise, the second thing, in order to alleviate the employment pressure of young people, we started a large-scale expansion of university enrollment, the school as a reservoir, postponing the first employment time of young people, it is from this time, China's universities began an unprecedented wave of expansion, 98 to 23 years, in just 25 years, the number of our college students, all the way to the 14 times.

At the same time as the surge in college students, there are not so many office positions in the society, so some college students really can't find a job, they can only go to the sales front desk, and the starting salary is even worse than that of migrant workers, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, the per capita monthly income of migrant workers at the end of 21 is 4432 yuan, and among the 21 undergraduate graduates, 69% of the graduates have a starting salary of less than 4,000 yuan, which is lower than that of migrant workers. On the other hand, blue-collar workers are becoming more and more valuable because of supply and Internet technology, and it can even be said that China's manual workers are experiencing a wave of blue-collar gentrification.

The reason is not complicated, first, our technical blue-collar workers are too scarce, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security statistics, at present, our technical personnel (manufacturing technicians) gap is as high as 22 million, five years this gap will be as high as 30 million people, in short supply, the value of technical blue-collar workers, naturally higher and higher, and then there are a large number of new blue-collar representatives who rely on the Internet platform, that is, takeaway brothers, express delivery brothers and online car-hailing drivers, the blue-collar workers mentioned here, Unlike the traditional blue-collar workers who often work hard and do dirty work, they no longer need to go to the Pearl River Delta to work in the Pearl River Delta in order to find a construction site or factory to work, as they did in the past, so that their children can be left-behind children, on the contrary, they can choose to work locally, and the salary can also support them to buy a house in the local city or county and become the new middle class in the county.

But don't be surprised, this kind of economic development to a certain extent, blue-collar income growth rate is higher than white-collar blue-collar middle class, decades ago, in developed countries, in the United States to deliver parcels truck drivers is a high-paying occupation, some time ago, United Parcel Delivery Service Company, and the United States labor union signed a labor contract, so that the company's full-time truck driver annual income from 100,000 US dollars, soared to 170,000 US dollars, plumber is a high-paying occupation in the United States, It is said that it is also very popular in the marriage market. Germany is no exception, the annual salary of technical school graduates is even higher than that of ordinary college graduates 5,000 euros, a skilled front-line worker, the annual income can even be as high as more than 100,000 US dollars, than the office department manager, or even university professors are higher, it can be said that in most developed countries, the wages of manual laborers are more than ordinary white-collar workers, which is not difficult to understand why almost everyone in Europe and the United States will repair household appliances and faucets by themselves, it is really not because Europeans and Americans are diligent and have strong hands-on ability, It's really because it's too expensive to hire someone to repair it, and without the financial resources of Bill Gates, you really don't dare to find someone to repair any broken thing, this is not a ruin, it's just going bankrupt.

This trend of more and more expensive manual laborers, I believe everyone has a deep feeling, now on the software to call the aunt to clean up, an hour 50 yuan, casually ask someone to open a lock will cost 200 yuan, through the toilet also costs 100-200 yuan, some cities on the side of the road a small shop haircut, is also 68 yuan to start, even to the postgraduate entrance examination Zhang Xuefeng also noticed the trend of manual labor becoming more expensive, set up a vocational and technical school in Suzhou, It can be said that we have always thought that white-collar workers are more decent than blue-collar workers in the past, and this concept should really be changed, and what impact does this have on us?

Ladies and gentlemen, many people have said in the past, the north and the wide can not accommodate the body, the third or fourth line can not let go of the soul, now this sentence is outdated, if you want to struggle in the future, you can be in the north and Shenzhen, temporarily in the career in difficulty, you can also temporarily become a rider or courier brother to tide over the difficulties, if you like the life of a small city, want to honor your parents, you don't need to leave your hometown to work like your parents, you can also learn skills in your hometown, or drive an online car-hailing, live a life of fireworks, that is to say, Under the general trend of blue-collar gentrification, learning a technology, or doing flexible employment, just like taking the college entrance examination and becoming a white-collar worker, will allow you to live a decent life in the future, do you welcome this trend?
