My first thought when I see those statistics is where do jobs such as writing software or approving engineering plans fall into. I suspect that they are both considered "service class" jobs (since neither is attached to manufacturing, nor are they anything that would conventionally be considered creative)--yet they are very much not "low-skill jobs".
- throwawaygh 5y agoIt's a good gut reaction since software is often lumped in with "services", but in the context of the quoted article most software jobs are probably in the "creative" bucket. But the author of the quoted article doesn't bother to share their methodology or data, so who the hell really knows shrugs. Par for the course in sociology, really :)
