I’m curious what percentage of lemmy are in the trades I.e have a trade job plumber electrician mechanic etc vs in the service industry working at a shop in retail vs a business position working from a computer all day in an office.
I’ll put five comments bellow.

Up vote what category you fall into
I myself am a crane technician so I am in the trades.
Mods can remove if this isn’t allowed

I just kinda assumed we’re all programmers here tbh. Maybe the occasional engineer too.
Manufacturing here.
I was hands on, travel-to-site, IT support for a long while. I loved it tbh.
Something with logistics and data for a big Swedish furniture store.
Healthcare adjacent or service provider (massage therapist) not sure that fits anywhere
Office.

What is “childcare”? Because I’m working on my hands and knees half the time or holding up to ~15kg for hours a day.

None of the above, I think? I deal with boaty things. Computery stuff regarding survey boaty things, to be precise.
If I absolutely had to choose, I’d say internal support for a trade, although I think a trade would involve trade school.
Actually, on paper I’m considered office personnel, although my “office” is my bedroom, and 20% of the time I’m on the far side of the world.
