Hello, all.
Data released on April 1 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics said truck technician employment rose almost twice the rate of all other occupations between May 2012 and May 2013.
BLS truck mechanic employment
Rates for auto techs rose even more. The article cited an aging fleet as well as an improving economic situation as reasons for the increase.
Also noted that there was not a comparable increase in wages during the same period.
I wonder how long these conditions will exist before we see a long overdo wage increase in our profession?
I believe never until we start to demand it.
