What’s a white-collar worker?
Think of people in jobs that use their brains—that’s mostly white-collar work. Not hard labor with your body, but using your mind to manage things, plan, or be a pro at something.
The name “white collar” is kind of old-fashioned, from when office folks wore white shirts, unlike blue-collar workers in tougher jobs who wore blue. Basically, white-collar jobs are office jobs, more about thinking than heavy lifting.
