(Analytics) Finding a Job That Pays a Middle Class Salary is Getting More Difficult

Why is probably the first question that popped in your head. We have become our own demise in a sense. With the increase in technology, we can see that there is less of a need for humans in some jobs. However, with the increase in technology we can see that there is a need for people who have knowledge in these areas. Since people with more education generally get paid more, manufacturing jobs have caught the bad end. Jobs such as child-care workers and cashiers are getting paid less because it requires very little education to perform these jobs.
   
In the book, "What Color is Your Parachute?", we can see that one reason it is hard to get high paying jobs is because it requires a degree of education for these jobs. Some of the highest paying jobs such as Mathematicians, Astronomers, and Computer Hardware Engineers all require that you further your education to improve your salary. In 1980, we could see from the book that 25% of women held healthcare jobs and now that number up to 44%. Jobs in healthcare are becoming more important which is why they pay a high salary.
