谁来告诉我，为什么现在大城市白领还不如技术工人

办公室的白领将来失业倒不至于，至于蓝领工人收入为什么高，早在几十年前的新概念英语就已经给出了答案，和中国经济发展有关，因为中国终于发展到人家那一步了。

Lesson 4 The double life of Alfred Bloggs
阿尔弗雷德.布洛格斯的双重生活

These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night. He took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

参考译文
如今，从事体力劳动的人的收入一般要比坐办公室的人高出许多。坐办公室的之所以常常被称作“白领工人”，就是因为他们通常是穿着硬领白衬衫，系着领带去上班。许多人常常情愿放弃较高的薪水以换取做白领工人的殊荣，此乃人之常情。而这常常会引起种种奇怪的现象，在埃尔斯米尔公司当清洁工的艾尔弗雷德.布洛斯就是一个例子。
艾尔弗结婚时，感到非常难为情，而没有将自己的职业告诉妻子。他只说在埃尔斯米尔公司上班。每天早晨，他穿上一身漂亮的黑色西装离家上班，然后换上工作服，当8个小时清洁工。晚上回家前，他洗个淋浴，重新换上那身黑色西服。两年多以来，艾尔弗一直这样，他的同事也为他保守秘密。艾尔弗的妻子一直不知道她嫁给了一个清洁工，而且她永远也不会知道了，因为艾尔弗已找到新职，不久就要坐办公室里工作了。他将来挣的钱只有他现在的一半。不过他觉得，地位升高了，损失点儿钱也值得。从此，艾尔弗可以一天到晚穿西服了。别人将称呼他为“布洛格斯先生”，而不再叫他“艾尔弗”了。

1、都说了21世纪缺人才、特别是技术工人，更加缺的高级技术工人！

2、尽管技术类干活累，可惜现在的很多人宁愿坐在办公室享空调也不愿在外面“日晒雨淋”受“风吹雨打”

3、在“人人都是知识分子”的今天，劳动力越来越稀缺，劳动力的价值也越来越高。

4、：“技术工人走俏，蓝领工资直逼白领，一边是白领有学无"术"量过剩，一边是蓝领供不应求价更高。”蓝白领如今谁更“贵”？其实，在许多发达国家，蓝领薪水高过白领是很正常的事情。这也是知识普及、技术与劳动力稀缺的现代社会的大势所趋。

技术工人比较缺，供不应求，白领供大于求，技术工人高薪属于正常市场经济，而且别说技术工人，连农民工的薪资都快赶上白领了

主要是有些市场饱和 用不了太多人了所以工资就低了 再就是中国中小型企业不好发展银行不给中小型企业注入资金 所以需求就少了

因为接触的东西越多，人的欲望就会越大，心思就越复杂，也更爱面子了。所有社会都是如此。
