JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For the first time in years, there is a shortage of blue-collar workers.
In many countries, a blue-collar worker is a working class person who performs manual labor.
According to a study published by the Conference Board, the shortage of blue-collar workers could last well into the new year.
Even with the shrinking number of workers, the demand for blue-collar workers has increased over the past decade.
There has been a high retirement rate for Baby Boomers, many of whom worked in factories.
