What do you think about the phenomenon that some blue-collar workers have higher monthly salaries than college students?

The monthly salary of some blue-collar workers exceeds that of college students. This is not the first time that this has happened. It is a normal phenomenon. Salary is related to the relationship between supply and demand, the value created by workers, whether the position is stable, etc., and not to academic qualifications. Extremely tight.

There are media reports that the person in charge of a human resources company that specializes in recruiting blue-collar workers recently recruited general workers with a monthly salary of 8,000 for an electronics factory in Jiangsu. However, as soon as he recruited a worker, he was dismissed by the nearby electronics factory. The monthly salary of 10,000 was poached, and now almost all factories are short of workers.

In the eyes of the public, the favored sons of heaven are not as good as blue-collar workers, which subverts the traditional perception, so it has aroused widespread discussion among netizens. This phenomenon is not accidental. There are several points worth thinking about:

1. Wages are closely related to market supply and demand

Affected by the epidemic in the past few quarters, many factories have closed down or laid off employees. However, consumption gradually picked up this quarter, and with the stimulation of Double Eleven, orders from many manufacturing factories increased.

It is necessary to recruit a large number of palace workers, so blue-collar workers are scarce and wages are rising. Many blue-collar workers earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, which is significantly higher than the salary level of undergraduates.

In short, the current market demand for blue-collar workers is greater than that of undergraduates.

2. Wages are related to the value created

The advantages of blue-collar workers are not only reflected in market demand, but also in their skills.

The advanced equipment introduced by the company requires skilled workers and the ability to specialize in technology. The so-called specialization in the industry means that technology needs to be polished day after day, year after year. On the front line, Blue-collar workers are definitely better than undergraduates who are not on the front lines.

Also, whether you are a blue-collar worker or a white-collar worker, your salary is related to the value you create. When the value you create is high, your salary will naturally be high.

3. Academic qualifications are not a guarantee

Nowadays, there are many college students, who are no longer scarce talents, and their work abilities vary. Some college students have only scratched the surface of their studies in school, and many even have just a diploma without real skills. When they are employed, they have high ambitions and low abilities, and their majors have not been polished. In the end, their wages will naturally be low.

In short, society is very utilitarian and needs valuable people. We must make ourselves useful.
