Ever wonder why America doesn’t make things anymore.? The answer is here. Why do real work when it pays a fraction of the jobs where you sit at a desk all day:
16. Manufacturing $45,370
17. Transport $43,930
18. Farming, Fishing, & Forestry $37,870
22. Food $32,130
Looking at a 1.000 would be better.
The USA economy is complex.
Fascinating
Manufacturing, Construction and Extraction, Mechanics and Installation, and Farming et al. together total 15.
Those guys (with the support of 9 people in transport) keep the other 85 housed, fed, and equipped.
Although how many Chinese are we keeping employed in manufacturing?
US and State gov’t don’t get a bin?
Sick analysis.
Interesting I qualify under both Engineeering (EE) and Software engineer(BS in computer science or does that make me a scientist also.
I know how to design and make systems that will put a lot of people out of work. Lucky for them I’m retied, but there are young guys out there that can do just as many “amazing” things as I did.
Question is what will society do will all the people we made redundant? even “coders” are going to become obsolete soon.
Not everyone can be a doctor, engineer, carpenter, plumber,
et al.
So, where are engineers listed? You know those guys that actually design stuff like ariplanes and all..
Any numbers coming out of government are nothing but lies.
Very interesting regarding the trends. Thanks.
Previously Sole Proprietor/self employed was a major category. Why is it not this list? Is our experience that there is a surge of entrepreneurs on the internet not statistically valid?
It would be really interesting to include the “unemployed” into those categories. That’s 40% of the total, which totally skews the results. I wonder how high up “welfare” would be as a category.
