> I get the feeling most of the newer jobs that are going to be created are going to be in the blue collar fields and the US isn't geared for providing those. What blue collar field/industry is expected to grow? > I'm also not sure that people who have been conditioned to work white collar jobs will be happy to work in blue collar jobs. A quick google search shows about 60% of workers are white collar and about 30% are blue collar. I suspect blue collar workers are not going to be happy with the influx of white collar workers competing for their jobs.
