YES. NEXT QUESTION? Is it time for trade school?

Gen Z workers are turning to skilled trades jobs, reports Sophia Hernandez for NBC6 in South Florida. While Gen Z workers are 14 percent of the workforce, they were nearly one in four hires in skilled trades jobs last year, according to Gusto.

Arturo Rodriguez, 20, is apprenticing as an industrial electrician with Horsepower Electric after completing lineman and electrical classes at Miami Dade College North. He takes pride in his work. “If I do something and I, I wired it up or I do it from scratch, I enjoy doing that and knowing that I did that on myself or with the help of somebody,” he said. He’s getting paid while he trains.

Forty-two percent of Gen Zers are working in or pursuing a blue-collar or skilled trade job, including 37% of those with a bachelor’s degree, according to a May survey by Resume Builder. Men are much more likely than women to choose blue-collar careers.

So much of GenZ — and I don’t just say this because both my sons are members — seems to have looked at the changing landscape, adjusted accordingly, and gone to work without much complaint.
