Digital divide and job division

According to Robert Reich (1991), there is a new job division, which is distinguished from the existing division, blue-collar and white-collar job. New job division is categorized to routine production workers, in-person service workers, and symbolic analysts. The workers classified to routine production workers are factory workers, payroll clerks, and taxi drivers or hospital attendants are belonged to the category of in-person service workers. The last category is called symbolic analysts and software engineers and strategic planners are in this category. Symbolic analysts have different features that they use ICT for their job and it contributes to workers be developed and provides better chance to access information, which has significant importance in nowadays society.

I feel this division could be the consequence of digital divide, because individual, who grew with exposure of benefit of technology, should be familiar with process requiring complicated computer-related work, and because this work requires professional skills, the income must higher than other two job categories. The difference in income provide different levels of abilities can afford education and environment people live, therefore; digital divide deepened the digital divide.
