Définition

  • Blue-collar workers, or the working class, comprise a segmented and stratified population in which economic location influences potential career mobility. Defined as manual or services laborers, this working class can be divided into five categories, based on skills and type of industry: self-employed, skilled or craft employees, semiskilled or unskilled employees in core sectors, semiskilled or unskilled employees in periphery sectors, and the marginally employed working less than 27 weeks per year, according to William Form and George Putman.
