White Collar
Jobs Gain
In County
(Special to the Progress-Argus)
NEW YORK, Dec. 12—To
what extent has the employment
picture in Butts County changed
in recent years? How much job
shifting has there been, due to
automation?
\\ hat proportion of working
people in the local area are now
in white collar occupations and
what proportion in blue collar?
National surveys by the Bureau
C&S Bank of Jackson
of Labor Statistics, combined
with data from the Department
of Commerce, shed some light on
the subject.
They indicate that locally, as
in most other areas, there have
been many adjustments in the
employment situation since 1960.
Of the 3,182 men and women
who were employed locally at
that time, 690 were in white col
lar jobs, the figures show. The
rest were in blue collar or ser
vice occupations or were employ
ed on farms.
Most noticeable, in Butts Coun
ty has been the substantial in
crease since then in the pro
portion of white collar jobs. The
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON. GEORGIA
rise, in the 10-year period, is es
timated at 16.7 percent.
This was in line with the grow
ing demand for clerical, manage
ment, professional, technical and
sales personnel. These white col
lar occupations have created op
portunities for a large majority
of the newcomers in the local
labor force.
Classification as blue collar in
the government’s reports are ma
chinists, craftsmen, construction
worke rs, factory operatives,
transportation workers and the
like.
In Butts County, due to the
adjustments that have taken
place, it is estimated that white
collar workers now' constitute ap
proximately 25 percent of the
local labor force.
The finding is that the pay
scale of the average unionized
blue collar worker has been ris
ing much faster lately than that
of the white colla r worker.
Asa result, the big difference
in spending potential and living
standards that once distinguished
the two has become less evident.
Blue collar workers, however, are
more susceptibile to layoffs than
white collar.
