From police officers to plumbers, blue-collar workers are everywhere. In fact, if you stop to consider all the jobs that fall under the "blue-collar" umbrella, it would be hard to imagine a world without these individuals and the essential services they provide every single day. But what differentiates these roles from those that don't fall into this particular category?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, blue-collar jobs are defined as "precision production, craft, and repair occupations" and "service occupations," such as "machine operators and inspectors; transportation and moving occupations; handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers and laborers." In simpler terms, these workers perform manual labor and skilled trades, usually for an hourly wage, across both the public and private sectors. These workers typically need strength or physical skill, as they are not tied to a desk like their white-collar, clerical counterparts.
Many blue-collar workers are also recognizable by their work attire. For instance, you can identify a mechanic by their greasy coveralls and you can discern construction workers by their reflective, orange vests.
But can you distinguish between blue-collar jobs using only a short description? Take this quiz to determine if you're as in-tune with the working class as you think!
