I think in this setting (WFH) blue collar job also means hospital jobs, restaurant, r&d lab workers, teachers, sales etc, i.e. any kind of job where one cannot physically work from home.
- XorNot 3y agoYes imagine if the physical requirements of those jobs were rewarded with some type of additional monetary compensation, given the demands placed upon the workers...
- SauciestGNU 3y agoWhen covid first hit I was working with a lot of laboratory scientists in R&D. I can promise you that even the most gifted scientists weren't making a substantial monetary premium, except for the handful who were individually responsible for breakthroughs that led to commercially successful pharmaceutical products. The market for laboratory scientists is fairly saturated and the wages are much lower than you might expect, given the relative importance of the work to society.
