The term blue collar job typically refers to a job that involves manual labor and receives an hourly rate of pay rather than an annual salary. The term blue collar stems from the uniforms worn by many industrial workers that were typically made of heavy duty, blue fabric and consisted of blue shirts and pants or blue coveralls. The automotive manufacturing and repair industries as well as the construction industry have been referred to as blue collar for decades.
Though a blue collar job was once thought to be reserved for people with no education or skill who were seemingly only qualified to perform manual labor, the defining qualities of a blue collar job no longer fit in some industries. For example, many computer and high tech jobs pay by the hour and some construction industry positions pay an annual salary. In modern times, a blue collar job may also require education for a number of positions, which are categorized as "skilled trades. "
People who have traditionally held a blue collar job are referred to as blue collar workers. The stereotype and social class of the blue collar worker has changed over the years. This is due in part to the increase in technology, which requires training, and the increase in pay among some industries.
Blue collar jobs within some industries have seen a decline, especially in the manufacturing industries, as the manual labor within the industry
has become outsourced
at an increasing rate. Construction, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning), and automotive repair remain leading industries offering blue collar jobs in America.
Please summarize the changes in blue collar jobs according to the passage.
