1. white-collar

   White-collar generally refers to work or workers who are typically involved in professional, managerial, or administrative tasks in an office setting, rather than manual labor or blue-collar jobs. They are named so because they traditionally wore formal, white-collared shirts. It often implies a higher social class or high-income level due to the level of education and training required for these jobs.
