  • Are you familiar with the different colors of employment sectors in your society?

Actually, in any job organization around the world, there are many colors of employment sectors that are known and worked upon in the paying and the working hours wise. Many people did not know the existents of these concepts and the usage of colors in the working terms. Worldwide they use colors such as; gold, silver, black, green, blue, pink, white, red, and orange. But in this article, it’s going to talk about blue, white, and pink collars because it is the colors used in our society.

The terms “blue collar” and “white collar” was coined in the early 20th century by Upton Sinclair; these terms are occupational classifications that distinguish workers who perform manual labor from workers who perform professional jobs. Historically, blue-collar workers wore uniforms, usually blue, and worked in trade occupations. White-collar workers typically wore white, button down shirts and worked in office settings. Other aspects that distinguish blue-collar and white-collar workers include earnings and education level.

Due to the new industries that happened after the Industrial Revolution a lot of Collar workers categories exist based on the colors of their collars worn as work; these can commonly reflect one’s occupation or sometimes gender.

The term “pink-collar” was popularized in the late 1990s by writer and social critic Louise Kapp Howe to denote women working as nurses, secretaries, and elementary school teachers. Its origins, however, go back to the early 1970s, to when the equal rights amendment Women who did relatively clean jobs that were done by few men (shop assistants, nurses, teachers, etc.) were referred to, by extension, as pink-collar workers.

White-collar jobs are not always paid more highly than blue-collar ones but involve work in a relatively clean, climate-controlled environment, with risks of repetitive strain injuries in the arms and hands but not large risks of permanent disabling on the job injuries. This type of job refers to a salaried professional or a person whose job is clerical in nature, typically what you call a “desk job”. White collar workers have usually salaried professionals who do work that is expectedly less “laborious” but typically more highly paid than blue-collar workers. White collar posts are seen in the medical, legal, administrative or clerical fields. The name comes from the use of traditional white, formal shirts that workers wear in offices or places of work. Known for: desk jobs and high pay.

You only have to go through the link to find your white collar job among thousand others in Jobzella.

 A Pink Collar Job is traditionally for women. The difference between a white collar job and pink collar job lies on gender. Pink Collar Jobs involves occupations such as a teacher, secretary, nanny, nurse, cosmetologist, receptionist, waitress, florist, call center, and flight attendant. These jobs are mostly performed in a clean and safe environment, which are not expose to dangers or hard physical work. These careers did not require workers many professional trainings, unlike white collar professions.

Particularly, blue-collar jobs involve heavy use of the body and carry a relatively high risk of career-ending physical injury. It refers to jobs that perform manual labor and receive an hourly rate of pay. The term blue collar stems from the blue fabrics or uniforms worn by many industrial workers.
A blue collar job also referred to blue collar worker. The work may be skilled or unskilled and is often within an industry that is governed by a labor union. Skill trades require education for a number of positions. The jobs involve automotive manufacturing, construction trades, mechanical work, maintenance, repair industry, technical installations, and food industry, electrical and mining.
The payment that a worker receives may be equal to white collar job but they are often unable to have benefits such as vacation leave, health care, and bonuses.

It is useful to segment the workforce this way, because each group’s pay, job expectations, and specific labor issues differ inconsistent ways. But let us all agree on every collar color is the same, because it is not the color of the collar that makes the organization or the place that they are working in successful. It is how the workers work, the harmony and the teamwork that makes any place successful.
