The Labor Force

[@jeremymacklem2510]

I am a 20+yr HVAC master tech. I am in no way worried about my section of the labor force changing. At the end of the day a person who can turn a wrench and has mechanical aptitude combined with the technical knowledge in my trade will always have a job. Furnaces and air conditioners will always be here and will always need a skilled tech to work on them. Even the pandemic didn't give me a day off unless I needed it. Climate control is essential to survival in many places. Anyway GREAT VIDEO SIR! I enjoy your content immensely 👍

While it may be an over-simplification, a friend of mine says, “Skills pay bills.” I have even pointed out to my kids what you have pointed out here: the tradesmen are almost always working. I work with guys who are plumbers, electricians, builders, welders, mechanics; while they may see occasional relative slowdowns, they are almost always turning down work cuz they’re just too busy already

[@TheModdedwarfare3]

In the far off future that job will also probably be replaced by automation or be made unnecessary. You will probably be retired or dead before then though.

[@efulmer8675]

What zhyvaxxe pointed out though was the trade skills. Those are usually in high demand because they're necessary, but also because they're often in short supply. In the US there's been such a strong push towards college/university that people who, for whatever reason, don't feel that college/university is the right fit for them, can wind up never learning about trades or trade school when that may have always been the better fit. I suspect this is due to a cultural abhorrence of the dirty work that really shouldn't be there. Some people just plain prefer working with their hands or find that more satisfying than a desk job.

[@judieszydlowski4608]

Great explanation Professor Dave! One thing I have always wondered...how does the Bureau know a person has "given up" looking for a job? Let's say I leave a job and do not qualify for or do not choose to file for unemployment benefits. Am I in the "given up" category until I file for Social Security?

So how would the slave labor of prisoners in the US apply to this?

Google says they are not in the labor force.

So I was a full time premed student and worked full time as an RN. I would still have been considered in the labor force, right? Otherwise it’s odd that being a full time student means you’re not in the labor force.

[@theastuteangler]

Yeah full time work and full time school at the same time is impossible unless you dont sleep and fail your classes

[@MilitaryPoliceG795]

@@theastuteangler nah not at all. 12 hours of classes and working 36-39 hrs a week is definitely doable. Did it for 2 years. Came here for much advice on Ochem and physics 🤣 Didn’t fail either. Made As in everything except B in genetics and biochem.

[@MilitaryPoliceG795]

@ayy lmao That was my thought. It’s quite common in the medical field to do both full time, especially for nurse practitioners and RN to BSN students

[@shanemckenzie8681]

Thank you for this. Been a really bad day professor Dave and I’ve been watching your medical shows because I’m going to Nursing I’m not sure if it’s moving effectively. I’m an older Nursing and I wanted to give up. I haven’t talk to my son in several weeks and it’s kind of depressing, so life is about relationships , right. Maybe you can Do a little tidbit on the relationships in out life’s. rLOL Thanks again! 💪🏻✅

[@kyuubitao]

So for the last five years I wasn't in the labor force, but now I am again? Very interesting. I would have expected military to count, considering how much more labor they do compared to the average worker.

Employers: they just graduated! They must be intelligent, productive, and have a high work ethic! Me: college has taught me nothing and i am now in debt...

No one owes you a damn thing. Post secondary education makes graduates self entitled know it all and employers absolutely hate people like that. Degrees are a dime a dozen.

A college degree doesn’t mean anything anymore

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Depends on the field you're trying to get into.

[@GamersInHellOnYt]

I kind of agree with both of you. college itself is pretty worthless... The way its setup. Were forced to take classes and fullfil extra credits that have nothing to do with our major or interests. Pretty much barring students from graduation until they shell out more money... But if your trying to get into a quality field... I guess you would have more major classes that would fill those roles. So the credits needed to graduate would be completed naturally with few detours...

[@mageproductions827]

Did anyone realise the soviet star in The opening well done comrade Edit: I didn’t mean that Dave was pushing an agenda I just saw a red star at the beginning of a video about labour forces so I thought of the soviet star since I’m not familiar with Dave’s content.

It's just a star, kiddo.

Talking about labor without discussing class struggle isn't anything remotely close to an adequate explanation of the concept of labor.

Here in south Florida, it is very hard to find employees. Young people also do not want to work hard and feel entitled. They want a piece of the business without investing after tax dollars and if business fails, they will just leave.

[@kyle857]

Young people don't want to slave away for a minimum wage which would have them living in poverty and I don't blame them.
