Analysis: There is an American Blue Collar Shortage

Share this article
An analysis conducted by The Conference Board discovered that there is an increasing shortage of blue collar workers in American industries, which is a concern for companies and recruiters. The analysis found that it is harder to fill blue collar job positions, more so than white collar job positions that require a bachelor’s degree from a college or university.
Does this mean that college degrees are becoming less important in the current job market? Possibly, which could affect college enrollment in the short-term.
