 Types of Collars

• Gold Collars
• White Collars
• Grey Collars
• Blue Collars
• Pink Collars
 Gold Collars

They are the most sought-after professionals; the

highly skilled set in which accountants, surgeons,
engineers, and lawyers fall under.
 White Collars

Typically associated with a desk job, these people are

usually tasked with clerical, administrative, and
managerial functions. This segment typically
requires formal education.
 Grey Collars

This segment is the “gray area” of job segmentation as

it is used as the neutral title to several posts, though
some use it as a term for people in the information
technology sector.

Some cultures also pertain to them as the old-aged

workforce, while others define them as underemployed
white-collar workers.
 Blue Collars

This is the class of the skilled workers who do labor

using their hands, or so-called manual and technical
labor. Most blue-collar occupations do not require
formal education but some jobs require vocational
degrees.
 Pink Collars

These are jobs that are “culturally held by women,”

the usage of which is already changed and applicable
to all service jobs in the industry. Waiters, retail
clerks, and sales personnel of both genders are under
this category.
