Blue collar jobs and basically any jobs that isn’t white collar is deemed lesser than these white collar jobs because our society and high school system focuses on these office jobs and looks down those other jobs.

Americans do not give equal respect to all jobs, despite the importance of several of these less-respected jobs in American society. Americans, even unintentionally, associate the pay and prestige of one’s job to the degree of education of that worker. Interestingly, one of the largest factors contributing to how our society functions as well as it does now is the existence of these “lower-end” jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s a very bad that Americans don’t respect all jobs equally. Because the inequality of respect, people are neglected and looked down upon, which doesn’t make sense. All people should be equal and the lack of respect that people show isn’t contributing to this.

Personally I don’t think the people that work these jobs do not get the respect they deserve I honestly believe that most people look down upon them but they deserve much more respect and better pay then they receive.

I believe that not all work is respected and valued in America. People tend to feel different towards those who work labor jobs such as plumbers and construction than those who are ceos or work in offices. Those who work in cubicles and for big companies tend to get payed way better than those who work manual labor jobs. I believe it should be the other way around since we wouldn’t have that much without manual laborers.

Americans do not respect all types of work. There are more than enough jobs to limit unemployment, but people refuse to take these jobs. These jobs are seen as bad and not respectable. If they were to respect all types of work, Americans would fill these jobs in an instance.

I believe that blue collar workers take a majority of the work to sustain a society, but other members of society often take them for granted and don’t realize the contributions these workers made in

I think Americans do respect, to a varying degree, all jobs. If someone told me they worked as a low-tier waiter or garbage man, I would at least respect their choice.

What Rowe was talking about is the unequal ratio of pay and respect earned across all jobs. This is mostly fine, because most of those jobs are literally dirty or undesirable enough to warrant the lower levels of respect some of these higher-paying jobs get.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Americans do not respect lower levels of jobs. Today in society people look down upon people who may not be as fortunate to gain higher jobs whether due to availability to good education or economic status. Yet, these blue collar workers are the heart of our work force and they do not get enough credit for their work. Without jobs like these, America would not function the way it does.

# data[].attributes.body
Americans do not value all types of jobs equally, even if some of these jobs hold our society together. Our society has caused us to develop certain stereotypes and preconceived notions about respectable types of work. It is difficult for us to chnage our way of teaching, however we must remember to value all members of society. All jobs are important in their own way and better society in one way or another; it is our job to respect and value all members of society, irrespective of their job.

Based on the movie, it does nothing seem like Americans respect all forms of work. Many types of work are considered “dirty” by Americans and people associate the people who take these jobs with poverty and are disgusted by their lifestyle. Instead, we should respect all forms of work and acknowledge that every job is beneficial to the successful functioning of society and the economy.

I think that there is a belief in this country that people with higher paying jobs are more valuable or more worthy of respect. I think the country has lost its sense of blue collar pride that the nation was built on, and those jobs that may not be the most desirable or easy are the ones worthy of the most respect.

Americans in America don’t respect most of the work people do. This should be able to change

I believe that Americans do respect all types of work. That each individual understands the importance of work and providing for their families. Modern slavery: low pay and cost for hard manual work. It exists because our society allows it to be and also goes unnoticed.

As seen in the interview, Americans do not respect workers as well as they should. Americans do not treat all jobs equally.

# data[].attributes.body
There is a negative stigma around “dirty jobs.” Even though millions are unemployed, these jobs aren’t being taken because of the negative perspective that America has. Even though they are needed for everyday functionalities, they are neglected.

In America, I believe that all types of work isn’t not respected and valued by us . The minimum wage is given to people that work the hardest and the big buck wages are given to people that are exceptions in the world today.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that Americans respect all types of work, because there are certain jobs that are very looked down upon (like blue collar jobs). Because of the negative stigma surrounding these types of jobs, there has been a decrease in the number of people who work blue collar jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think thatAmericans respect the jobs that no one wants to do. Jobs like this are less desirable and pay less so people don’t respect them. The jobs that are less desirable are the ones that make the community work and I think that people in the community don’t appreciate these jobs.

I believe that blue collared workers do the majority of the work in sustaining an economy, but other members in society take them for granted and sometimes do not value the these workers justly.

Americans do not respect and value all types of work from what Mike Rowe Said. There are enough jobs available but Americans refuse to work at them. These jobs are not seem as respectable, and therefore, people will not take these jobs. If people respected all types of work, they would take the jobs no matter how disrespectful it is. Workers with “bad” jobs are treated differen And often without much respect

# data[].attributes.body
In America, there are standards and stereotypes about the type of work a person does. People often connect certain jobs to certain backgrounds, whether it be positive or negative. The value of a persons work is often scaled on the amount of money they make.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think that Americans respect working workers because we view jobs like plumbers and electricians as extremely low-level jobs, to the point that even though there are many of these jobs available, those who are unemployed choose to remain unemployed instead of taking on these jobs. It is very important that people see beyond this stereotype because there isn’t a high demand for these jobs and we need help from these people in our everyday lives.

When watching the video, I realized that Americans do not value work they consider lowly or basic. Instead, they value white collar jobs and higher education. They lack respect for the blue collar work that drives society and allows citizens to live comfortably. This blue collar work demands more respect because it is the foundations of our economy and society. Americans need to change their outlook on respecting jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think all types of work are valued but they aren’t valued equally. The value that we place on work is the money that we are willing to pay for it. So the value of fast food work is minimum wage, while the value of a tech job is much higher. I don’t think that all work should be valued the same, because work isn’t given value randomly, it’s based on the market. Low skill jobs are valued less because there are more people able and willing to do that work than there are spaces for those workers. And high skilled jobs are valued more because there are less people with the necessary skills and education to do those jobs than there are spots for them, so companies compete for those workers, driving up the wages.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not believe that all Americans respect and value all types of work and workers. There are plenty of job opportunities for the unemployed, but there is unfortunately some negative stigmas surrounding a lot of blue collar jobs that make the unemployed ignore the offers. Mike Rowe’s interview brings to light how the negative stigmas surrounding “dirty jobs” is widening the skill gap and increasing the unemployment rate. Some Americans need to remember that the world would not function well without the “dirty jobs”, and we therefore must learn to respect and value those jobs and workers.

I believe that America is built off the backs of farmers, factory workers, mechanics, truckers, and other blue collar jobs. However, I don’t believe that these Americans get the respect they deserve, nor the paycheck. These hardworking Americans are often thought of as the lesser sides of society, and that their careers are a dying profession or something that only the lowest or dumbest of society perform. Nowadays, kids in America dream of becoming the next ceo of a big tech company, the next big wolf of Wall Street, etc. The American Dream of creating your future with your own two hands seems now like a forgotten memory of the good ole days. I believe however that these professions are more important to society than we can understand, and we must begin to treat these blue collar workers with more respect and also need to put a bigger premium on their paycheck

Based on the interview with Mike Rowes, it seems to be that Americans do not respect and value all types of work. There are plenty of job opportunities, and enough job opportunities, to solve the unemployment problem. Sadly, these open job position are not seen as respectable jobs, and therefore people ignore the offers or do not even hear of them. Mike Rowes’ work as he raises awareness for these “disrespectful” jobs allows people to value these jobs. It is so important, as Rowes said, to understand that all jobs come from agriculture and mining and that all jobs are necessary to have a health, working community.
