Dear Candidate,

Groups of working individuals are typically classified based on the colors of their collars worn at work. These can commonly reflect one's occupation or sometimes gender.

White - collar workers are named for the white - collared shirts that were fashionable among office workers in the early and mid-20th century.

A white - collar worker belongs to a class of employees known for earning higher average salaries doing highly skilled work, but not by performing manual labor at their jobs.

Hope it helps.
