Knowledge Workers

Individuals whose jobs are designed around the acquisition and application of information.

By the start of the 1970s, a new age was gaining momentum. This was based on information. Technological advancements were eliminating many low-skilled, blue-collar jobs. Moreover, the information wave was transforming society from a manufacturing focus to one of service. People were increasingly moving from jobs on the production flowwr to clerical, technical, and professional jobs.
Job growth in the past 20 years has been in low-skilled service work (such as fast-food employees, clerks, and home health aides) and knowledge work. This latter group includes professionals such as registered nurses, accountants, teachers, lawyers, and engineers.

It also includes technologiests-people who work with their hands and with theoretical knowledge-commonly referred to as information technologists. Computer programmers, software designers, and systems analysts are examples of jobs in this category. Knowledge workers as a group currently make up about a third of the U.S. workforce-individuals in jobs designed around the acquisition and application of information.
