Top Blue-Collar Jobs in demand:
According to the division of the workforce, blue-collar workers perform jobs that need physical work or manual labour. Work that can not be performed while sitting on the desk inside an A/C room, but on the factory floor or outside on the ground or field. The nature of physical hardship in blue-collar work spoils clothes and hands with dirt, which our Indian society doesn’t find respectable jobs.
