Glassdoor Economist Pay Overview

Economist Overview graphic
What is the pay outlook for Skilled Labor & Manufacturing?
The growth in skilled labour and manufacturing jobs is expected to vary hugely depending on industry and occupation. Some occupations, like building and construction trades and warehousing, are expected to increase with the growth of e-commerce and often pay relatively high salaries. However, other types of manufacturing jobs will continue their preexisting decline, as automation presents a risk to their long-term job outlook. Many jobs in skilled labour and manufacturing require apprenticeships or certifications.Show more
