You may have heard the term “Light Industrial” before, but have you ever wondered what type of jobs this describes?
Light Industrial is a very broad category of job in various industries, but generally, includes positions like assemblers, inventory clerks, warehouse workers, cashiers, and material handlers. You may see a slightly different definition on other platforms that use the terms “working class” and “blue collar” interchangeably.
These jobs play an important role in the success of both large and small businesses. Because they typically require less experience and have fewer education requirements, it can be easier to enter and start a career.
Knowing which careers fall into this category will help you better understand the type of work you should pursue and what it will take to land the job you want. To learn more about Light Industrial jobs, check out the video below.
