Blue-Collar Jobs[edit | edit source]

Blue-collar jobs are typically manual labor jobs. They often involve physical labor, such as repairing equipment, driving heavy vehicles, and constructing buildings. Examples of blue-collar jobs include plumbers, electricians, and construction workers.

Pink-Collar Jobs[edit | edit source]

Pink-collar jobs are jobs in the service industry. They often involve interacting with customers, such as in sales, customer service, and hospitality. Examples of pink-collar jobs include nurses, teachers, and flight attendants.

Job Satisfaction[edit | edit source]
