10 Detroit Job Listings That Pay Over $35 Per Hour
Detroit, Michigan, has a rich and complex history when it comes to its work force. The city has been a hub of manufacturing and industry for over a century, with the automobile industry being the most significant and iconic sector of employment. The city’s work force has experienced highs and lows over the years, with periods of prosperity and growth, as well as times of hardship and decline.
At the turn of the 20th century, Detroit’s work force was primarily made up of skilled tradespeople who worked in a variety of industries, such as steel production and shipbuilding. However, the city’s economic landscape began to change when the first automobile factory opened in 1901. This marked the beginning of a new era for Detroit, as the city became the center of the automotive industry.
In the early years of the automotive industry, work force conditions were often difficult, with long hours, low wages, and dangerous working conditions. However, as the industry grew and became more organized, workers began to organize and form unions. The United Auto Workers (UAW) was formed in 1935 and quickly became one of the most powerful unions in the country, fighting for better wages, working conditions, and benefits for its members.
During World War II, Detroit’s work force played a significant role in the war effort, with the city’s factories producing tanks, planes, and other military equipment. This led to a period of prosperity and growth for the city, as the demand for goods and services skyrocketed.
However, the post-war period brought with it a new set of challenges for Detroit’s work force. The 1950s and 1960s saw the rise of automation and increased competition from foreign automakers, leading to a decline in employment in the city’s automotive industry. In addition, social and economic changes led to racial tensions and civil unrest, further complicating the city’s work force history.
Despite these challenges, Detroit’s work force has remained resilient and adaptive. Today, the city is experiencing a resurgence in manufacturing and other industries, and there is a growing focus on diversifying the city’s work force and creating new opportunities for its residents. Newsbreak.com put out an article that highlights 10 Detroit companies currently looking to hire employees for jobs that earn over $35 per hour. These are highlighted below.
