White-collar worker

A white-collar worker is a worker who has a job that needs a lot of skill but does not need a lot of labor, unlike the job of a blue-collar worker. An example of a white-collar worker is a person who works at an office or at a desk.

They are also called "shirt and tie" workers. The name "white-collar worker" comes from the fact that in older times, many of them would wear clothes with white collars.

White-collar jobs are usually salaried. White-collar workers often make more money than blue-collar workers.
