Yes, a blue-collar worker does manual labor, such as a factory worker, mechanic, construction worker-- any manual labor, as opposed to an office job (a white-collar job) or a job in the service industry.

Then Blue- collar is a worker in any opposed to office work.

And White- collar is a job where they can do investigations for instance a laboratory.

It's right?

A blue-collar job is manual labor; a white-collar job is an office job. (oversimplification, but fairly accurate)

Is the colour of the uniform which gives the name to the collar? I mean, here a mechanic, for instance, wears a blue uniform, I guess there is the same. Years before, office workers used to wear white shirts. Maybe the collar name also comes from the old collars which weren't sewed to the shirt.

First, I need to know What does fairly mean?

And Where can I use that word? Please you give me examples.

Now about the commentary of Irmamar. She is right, because currently, I use the white uniform at Monday and well, in the company has rules where we have to swear a kind color in the shirts.


I hope you can understand me.

Yes, originally, that is where the terms came from.
