<p>Blue-collar jobs are making a comeback around the world. As white-collar office work loses some of its shine, skilled trades are attracting more people than ever before—with higher pay, job security, and newfound respect. But what’s driving this shift, and what challenges still face blue-collar workers today?</p> 

<p>Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega dive into the rising popularity of blue-collar careers. They explore why young people are increasingly choosing trade roles over office jobs, how wages are changing, and what it all means for the global workforce.</p>

<p>Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include:</p>

<ol>
<li>The definition and origins of ‘blue-collar’ jobs.</li>
<li>How attitudes toward skilled trades are changing.</li>
<li>Why blue-collar jobs are attracting more workers.</li>
<li>Factors behind the skilled trades shortage.</li>
