"America is losing jobs in blue-collar industries, something that last occurred during the initial shock of the early pandemic and the depths of the Great Recession. The country is down 65k industrial jobs over the last year, a dramatic reversal from 2024, when the US added a lower-than-usual but still respectable 250k jobs. A major slowdown has hit all blue-collar sectors this year, including construction, mining, and utilities—though manufacturing and transportation are driving the vast majority of US job losses.
In total, employment across trades and industry is now down 123k from the all-time peak reached in early 2025 and has been declining nearly every month since February. This is likely underselling the damage as well, since preliminary estimates for upcoming annual jobs data revisions suggest an additional loss of 100k manufacturing jobs and 30k construction jobs.
Manufacturing jobs have been suffering the longest, with employment declining for more than two years straight at this point as the sector’s share of the total US workforce shrinks to a record low of less than 8%. Transportation equipment (mostly car manufacturing) and electronics lead the losses, but the decline has been remarkably broad-based, with all major industries except metals & nonmetallic minerals bleeding jobs. In total, the US has now lost more than 200k manufacturing jobs compared to the recent peak in early 2023."

#Bluecollar is in. 10 high-paying #jobs that don't require a degree.
Two in five #GenZers are pursuing blue-collar #work, rejecting the collegiate path and learning trades, according to a May 2025 survey of 1,434 young adults by #Resume Builder.
#Vocational and #tradeprograms are booming, federal data shows.
One reason is a perception that #bluecollarjobs pay well, and that #college costs are becoming prohibitive.
