Suzanne Blake at Newsweek takes a look at a new report from FlexJobs that states as Artificial Intelligence (AI) threatens previously stable careers, a whopping 62% of White-Collar Workers say they would switch to the Skilled Trades for more job stability and pay. The Trades have become a stable career option for many as the job market remains increasingly competitive for new college graduates and AI disrupts many industries. While college degrees and White-Collar work have historically been pushed as the better option to many high school graduates, the Trades are attracting a high number of new adult Workers in America. Roughly 62% of the more than 3,000 surveyed Employees in the FlexJobs report said they would consider switching from a White-Collar to a Blue-Collar job if it offered better pay and stability than their current role. Another 45% of Workers said they were thinking about switching fields entirely - and 44% said they daydreamed about starting a business.
