Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
It goes without saying that many of the jobs performed in the manufactured housing sector are blue collar jobs. So this report sheds useful light on those trying to get their head around various trends and claims.
When a white-paper is produced that is useful to a firm, organization, or industry the norm is to publicize it.
That’s being painfully proven by Manufactured Housing Action (MHAction), which co-authored a so-called white paper on private equity firms behavior in MHVille. But when MHI produced a report that claims to demonstrate customer satisfaction, instead of publicizing it, they hide it behind a member login? What do you call that kind of odd behavior?
We’ll let that question hang, as we turn to the white paper by Express Employment Pros on the state of the blue collar workforce.
Here’s the lead to their release for the white paper.
“Previously a declining sector of the United States workforce, blue collar jobs are growing at the fastest rate in nearly three and a half decades, yet workers are scarcer than ever, according to studies from The Washington Post and The Conference Board, respectively. This unique combination of circumstances creates significant new opportunities for Americans who may not have a college education. And, as they look to invest in a career, they face a question: is taking a blue collar job a smart decision?”
The screen captures are data points and/or pull quotes from the survey that produced the white paper.
