I’m curious what percentage of lemmy are in the trades I.e have a trade job plumber electrician mechanic etc vs in the service industry working at a shop in retail vs a business position working from a computer all day in an office.
I’ll put five comments bellow.
Trade
Retail
Office
Study
Unemployed
Up vote what category you fall into
I myself am a crane technician so I am in the trades.
Mods can remove if this isn’t allowed
I just kinda assumed we’re all programmers here tbh. Maybe the occasional engineer too.
That’s what I expected to see as the dominant job
Manufacturing here.
Healthcare adjacent or service provider (massage therapist) not sure that fits anywhere
I was hands on, travel-to-site, IT support for a long while. I loved it tbh.
Nice try, Zuckerberg
Office
I support 5 humans in all of their eating, cleaning, logistic and clerical needs i’m not sure where this falls in your spectrum but if you consider it ‘unemployed’ i question the value of this poll.
None of the above, I think? I deal with boaty things. Computery stuff regarding survey boaty things, to be precise.
If I absolutely had to choose, I’d say internal support for a trade, although I think a trade would involve trade school.
Actually, on paper I’m considered office personnel, although my “office” is my bedroom, and 20% of the time I’m on the far side of the world.
Trade
60% work from home “office”, 30% on site at an assembly and test facility, and 10% visiting customers to fix problems. Not sure where that falls. I do a mix of technical and customer service and office work so who knows.
What is “childcare”? Because I’m working on my hands and knees half the time or holding up to ~15kg for hours a day.
Unemployed
None of those, I’m in the restaurant industry.
I have an office job, but I work with a lot of tradies.
Trade - trim carpenter/grunt/cheap labor
