Butchers And Barbers: Millennials Turning To Old-Time Jobs

So younger workers maybe shouldn’t be looking to the civil service for a career. But it seems Millennials are starting to look to the past for work.

Richard Ocejo writes about how that generation is moving into “Old Timey” jobs — think butchers, barbers and craft distillers.

Ocejo is an associate professor of sociology at the City University of New York and author of "Masters of Craft: Old Jobs in the New Urban Economy."

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
