Blue-collar worker

Blue-collar workers are people who work in manual labor jobs. These jobs require physical strength and energy, but they don't necessarily require a lot of education or specialized training. Blue-collar workers have been around for centuries, but the term «blue-collar» didn't come into popular use until the late 1800s when white collars became more common than blue ones among office workers.

A blue-collar worker's job may involve factory work or construction, but it could also be a skilled position like an electrician or plumber. Blue-collar employees have a variety of skills and responsibilities, including:

• using their hands to perform tasks that require physical labor;
• using tools such as hammers, saws, or drills to complete projects.

In the United States, blue-collar jobs are typically those that involve manual labor and require little to no education.

There are also many other types of blue-collar workers that don't fall into these categories, like firefighters and soldiers who wear uniforms with navy blue colors (the same color as their uniforms).

• Carpenters
• Electricians
• Plumbers
• Janitors and custodians
• Maintenance workers
