Quick post, not so manly either

With some personal issues (all good) taking priority, posting has been slim, so apologies for that. I wanted to highlight one quick article that talks about the lack of "manly" jobs (specifically manufacturing and construction.

This article complements my earlier article on McJobs, specifically how workers are heading to the areas of relatively stronger demand. What is interesting is how in manufacturing the new jobs that are being created demand different skill sets then those that have been eliminated. I wonder how different though... and whether manufactures are more reluctant to retrain older workers.  Feel free to comment on this.

Note: I expect short posts to continue and these may continue once long posts resume.  Just part of the evolving web design process!!
