Pink Collar Job Growth is Outpacing Blue Collar Job Growth

[cookderosa]

There are far more pink collar jobs than blue collar jobs, but many men are declining to take pink collar jobs because it's "women's work." Pink collar jobs are less likely to be off-shored or replaced with automation because they're based on human interaction.

They use a lot of jargon, but don't explain any of it.  What exactly are pink-collar jobs?  I mean, a list of more than 2-3 would be nice.

So in looking it up, I agree that my son is not going to do a single one of the jobs listed.  I will note that most are low-paying, and wouldn't support a family, something he would take into account when choosing a career (he's looking at majoring in Mechanical Engineering in college).

This is only the second or third time I've heard the expression, but I understand it to mean "girl" jobs that are labor/hands on as opposed to administrative or c-level. Caregiver roles would be an example - but that's not to say they are unskilled jobs, in the way that a welder would be skilled, and a nurse would be as well.
I think they're just trying to stir the pot lol.

Administrative roles are definitely part of the "pink collar" category. Along with nurse, secretary is one of the two occupations that first come to mind when I think of a "pink collar" job.

I'm showing my age- administration used to mean executive. Once upon a time when I was an administrator I had a secretary. Secretaries are now called admin / admin assistants. We're thinking of the same thing, just using different terms.
