Blue collar: Blue collar is the western definition of lifestyle. This concept was put forward in the 1950s, when the United States entered the information age. The term "blue-collar workers" appeared relatively late and only began to appear in the 1940s. Known as white-collar relatives, it refers to all working-class people who mainly do manual labor, such as ordinary industrial and mining workers, agricultural workers, construction workers, dock workers, warehouse managers and so on. The work clothes they wear at work are usually blue, hence the name.

The lifestyle of blue-collar workers is obviously not desk work. At present, many skilled workers are called blue-collar workers. Blue-collar workers have always been a shortage of talents in many domestic enterprises.
The word blue collar originally belongs to American English, and its history can be traced back to the clothing regulations of early factories. At that time, the factory unified the operation of the industrial navy uniform, using durable and dirt-resistant fabrics. According to the product line of the operator, the design is also different. For example, some wear hats and some have more pockets, but most of the colors belong to dark series, which is very different from white-collar workers.
The word blue-collar is sometimes used to add words such as environment, restaurants or bars to indicate that the area is frequented by blue-collar workers or has the characteristics of attracting blue-collar workers. However, such descriptions are not always positive. Sometimes describing a bar as a blue-collar bar may represent negative descriptions, such as violence, rudeness and only basic services. The use of the word blue-collar in the west often carries some derogatory meanings. More positive statements may include special efforts on manual work, special requirements on functions, little concern about red tape and no desire for anything.
Many blue-collar workers are quite experienced and knowledgeable about their work. Although not all of them have formal school education, after accumulating certain experience, they are usually appointed as team leaders by superiors, such as foremen, which is an example.

There are fewer blue-collar (en:Shift_work) holidays when working in shifts. The salary of blue-collar workers is lower than that of white-collar workers in most cases, and some very professional blue-collar workers may also have high salaries. Finally, compared with white-collar workers, blue-collar workers face very high occupational injuries and risks, and usually enjoy certain medical insurance benefits. Blue collar is divided into: sharp blue, plain blue and dark blue.
Generally, blue and dark blue are engaged in manual labor, while sharp blue is an intermediate transitional class, which may change to white-collar workers. Deep blue refers to people with certain skills. In terms of income, blue-collar workers are not necessarily lower than white-collar workers. Sharp Blue's income is actually higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.
