Division of Laborers

The main thing I noticed about these three new divisions lean more toward the white collar half of the original two divisions. While some of the in-person service workers may be more on the blue collar side, like janitors. For the most part there is a lack of available jobs in actual manual labor. The routine production workers and the symbolic analysts both definitely need education and computer skills. They are very white collar. There is an imbalance in available jobs and for people who would have gone into a blue collar career and been able to live decently it can be difficult because the majority of jobs now involve more schooling and not everyone can get the education that they need to succeed in this economy. It is as if there are still divisions but the entire range of opportunities for jobs has shifted upward in the amount of skill needed, especially considering the need to be able to use computers. The factory work is now routine production is not true physical labor but has all been computerized.
