With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence leading to job losses in professional fields, there is a soaring need for skilled trades and roles that cannot be replaced by AI, hitting unprecedented levels throughout the United States. Electricians in states with high demand are making upwards of $100,000 each year, licensed plumbers in large urban areas are fully booked for six to eight weeks, and enrollment in vocational schools is at a peak not seen in decades. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the U.S. will require 550,000 new electricians and an additional 200,000 plumbers by 2030, while Goldman Sachs has cautioned that 300 million jobs worldwide could be affected by AI within the next ten years.
