The global economic crisis has made its adjustments to the labor market situation. Now contextual advertising on the Internet is increasingly less about blue-collar job vacancies that were in demand in European countries until recently.
During times of stable economic situation, search engine promotion of a website offering work abroad was extremely popular, because the target audience of "World Wide Web" users concerned with finding earning opportunities was numerous. Currently, there are significantly fewer offers.
The demand for workers with narrow specialization and low qualifications has decreased particularly. For example, auto mechanics are invited approximately 13% less than two years ago. This is primarily due to the fact that difficult times have come for the automotive industry in general, and during the crisis the rate of reduction has increased sharply. On the other hand, generalists who can perform many types of work are hired with great pleasure. Such specialists perform several functions and can replace several people at once, consequently their wages increase.
Specialists involved in stone processing are invited less and less, while the work of experienced machine polishers who can process surfaces of complex geometry is valued twice as high. An ordinary turner is not as needed today as a master who can work on CNC machines.
A metallurgist, whose profession was very popular until recently, nowadays must have knowledge of robotics; otherwise, inviting him to work in Europe is unprofitable. A specialist in the mining industry will also not get a job if he does not have modern computer skills. Construction specialties, which are constantly required in all countries, are no exception in the current situation. Now only "jacks-of-all-trades" are invited to work; narrow specialists are less in demand.
Thus, in the current economic situation, the classic type of worker in a blue-collar profession is becoming less popular, and specialists who combine "golden hands" with "bright minds" come to the fore.
