Long Runway For Growth

Long Runway For Growth

The blue-collar sector shows exceptional growth potential, consistently outpacing both service and white-collar industries across all age groups since the pandemic. This trend is particularly strong among younger workers aged 20-24, indicating growing career interest in skilled trades.


Industry demand continues to expand, with blue-collar work representing 35% of the fastest-growing jobs nationwide. Labor projections show over 1.7 million new positions being added by 2032, including 490,000 immediate openings in critical manufacturing, welding, and electrician roles by April 2024.


The current workforce demographics also support long-term growth opportunities. With the median age of U.S. construction workers at 42, the industry is positioned for significant transition as experienced workers retire, creating space for new talent and technological advancement.
