Analysis:

I think it's a gray collar. Find it yourself. .....

Gold collar → white collar → pink collar → gray collar → blue collar.

From the powerful general manager, to the civilians who go in and out of luxury business centers, to the ordinary workers who operate machinery, gold collar, white collar, pink collar, gray collar and blue collar are all in the workplace. The color of the collar also explains the new professional concept.

A survey shows that the workplace in China has changed the "dual" structure of "managers" and "workers" in the past, and is being divided according to knowledge level, professional characteristics, position, workplace status and salary, showing a "diversified" pattern. People from all walks of life in the workplace have different living conditions, different lifestyles, different jobs and different economic incomes, forming the "five collars" in the workplace, namely: gold collar, white collar, pink collar, gray collar and blue collar.

The title of "Five Collars" is * * *

In the workplace of China, people are used to using the color of "collar" to divide different groups of people, from the powerful general manager to the civilians who go in and out of luxury business centers, and then to the ordinary workers who operate machinery, including gold collar, white collar, pink collar, gray collar and blue collar. The color of the collar also explains the new professional concept.

Golden collar. Having the title of "Golden Collar" is not only enviable, but also awesome. This title is the social recognition of these people's knowledge structure, public relations ability, team coordination ability, management ability, social relations resources and other comprehensive qualities. Jinling is a down-to-earth doer, good at solving problems independently, full of risks and challenges for the future, eager for greater development space and his own professional field. In the eyes of the public, in addition to the chairman and general manager, certified public accountants, lawyers, actuaries, senior circuit engineers, management consulting engineers and registered architects should be regarded as "the most popular golden collar occupations". Jinling's monthly salary is above 6,543,800+0,000.

White collar workers. Most "white-collar workers" are well educated. Because of their skills, they are employed by the boss as managers or do some paperwork. They can be independent in their work, appear more philosophical in the face of impermanence, and deal with problems in a more practical way. White-collar workers pursue diversified and high-quality life. At present, the main body of the white-collar class is people aged 25-40. According to American standards, white-collar workers refer to people who are engaged in pure mental work and earn $80,000 a year.

Pink collar. "Pink collar" refers to those freelancers who work from home. They communicate with the outside world by computer, telephone and fax. Most of them come from the "brain-eating" class, engaged in freelance writing, advertising design, clothing, jewelry, pottery and various handicraft design, product marketing, import and export trade, management consulting and so on. Most of them are young people with higher education, and their common characteristics are seeking individual value, pursuing labor fairness and accepting market challenges. Because most people engaged in this work are women, they are also called "pink-collared beauties".

Grey collar. "Grey collar" is a kind of workplace appellation that appears recently, and it is generally a college student who graduated from higher vocational colleges. They are compound talents with high modern scientific knowledge and high operational skills. "Gray collar" originally refers to the skilled workers who are responsible for the maintenance of electrical appliances and machinery. Because they often wear gray uniforms to work, they are named. Now the scope of gray collar has been extended to electronic engineers, software development engineers, decoration design engineers, drawing engineers, spraying engineers and so on. "Grey collar" is a new type of talent with independent intelligent structure and professional characteristics. They have high academic qualifications, rich professional knowledge and strong hands-on operation ability.

Blue-collar "blue-collar" mainly refers to industrial workers who get paid by paying their own physical strength. Construction workers, steel workers, textile workers, household appliances manufacturers, water and electricity pipeline maintenance workers, decoration workers, truck drivers and other occupations are typical occupations of blue-collar workers. The essential characteristics of blue-collar workers are unified production skills and professional norms, and a certain level of organization. At present, there are blue-collar groups of a certain scale in industry, agriculture and tertiary industry. Skilled workers, salesmen and salespeople, taxi drivers and logistics and transportation workers, security guards of security companies, chefs with high hygiene requirements, farmers with modern agricultural knowledge of mechanized operations, etc. , also belongs to the modern blue collar.

Golden collar: adorable and worrying.

"Five flowers and thousands of horses, tiger balm" has a high status. Jinling works nearly 10 hours a day, and generally uses English in his work. He has an annual budget of one million yuan and travels at least once every quarter ... At the end of 2004, CCTV Market Research estimated that the total number of senior business people in China had reached 342,000 through a sample survey of tens of thousands of enterprises in all walks of life in four cities with the most developed economy in China. Among them, 65,438+02% of the senior managers have the power to have an annual budget of more than 654.38 million yuan, and 6% of the business personnel have the power to have an annual budget of more than 654.38 million yuan. On average, their annual budget power is as high as 6.5438+0.95 million yuan. 68% of senior business personnel are engaged in management, and their responsibilities involve core areas such as market, finance, administration, planning and sales, and they directly control the right to use "white-collar workers". In terms of personal wealth, 39% of senior business people own cars; Houses are mainly private, accounting for 75%; 90% of senior business people have insurance, and more have pension insurance and medical insurance, accounting for 78% and 76% respectively.

Overload, pressure, overdraft life. According to the survey, the workload of gold collars is very heavy, and even the phenomenon of overdrawing their lives has aroused the concern of senior business people. Please look at a group of regrettable and shocking lists: Wang Junyao, 38, founder and former chairman of Junyao Group; Tomson Group real estate tycoon Tang Junnian, 56 years old; Yang Mai, 54, former president of Ericsson in China; Hu Kai, 52, former general manager of Dazhong Electric Appliance Company; Peng, 56, former president of Tsingtao Brewery ... These leading figures who once led the company's prosperity all died young because of overwork. More than 1 1% senior business people work more than 12 hours a day, and another 19% people work 10 to 12 hours a day on average. The survey results of domestic entrepreneurs' health status show that gastrointestinal diseases account for 30.7%, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia account for 23.08%, excessive smoking and drinking account for 2 1. 15%, 90.6% of entrepreneurs are overworked, 28.3% of entrepreneurs have poor memory and 26.4% of entrepreneurs have insomnia. Overloaded and high-pressure work has sounded the alarm for the health of gold collars.

Tired and happy. Tiredness is a common living condition of contemporary senior business people, but they are still struggling and pursuing tirelessly, and their lives are full and happy. Happily, the gold collars have noticed their health. Their spare time life is rich and colorful, especially their sports activities are persistent. Half of them travel more than once a quarter.

White collar: How much do you like it and how worried are you?

Teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow, and the scenery is chic. After graduating from college, I have a comfortable and stable job, going in and out of high-end consumer places and wandering between luxury business centers and office buildings. This is the life of white-collar workers today. Because of high income, white-collar workers can be said to live comfortably, and many people own private cars, their own houses and so on. They pursue a diversified and high-quality life. At present, the main class of white-collar workers is people aged 25-40, and many people's ideas, values and outlook on life are shaped after the reform and opening up. For these white-collar workers, high-paying job opportunities are as important as a high-quality lifestyle. White-collar workers like diversified life forms, constantly looking for new fashions, and expressing their pursuit of quality of life through their own clothes and houses. White-collar workers' leisure and comfortable work and glamorous appearance have become the favorite of undergraduates, master students and even doctoral students who have just left school.

Frequent job-hopping, fear of unemployment, numerous risks. The high consumption of white-collar workers must be supported by high salary, so the white-collar workers' desire for high salary is increasing day by day. As a result, the phenomenon of white-collar job-hopping is not uncommon. Take the young people in the IT industry as an example, 63.7% of them have quit their jobs, and the motivation is "whether they can give full play to their own personality and ability" and "want to have an independent world". Ciic Shanghai Company conducted a survey on more than 5,000 employees working in foreign companies, all of whom have left their jobs. The survey results show that the proportion of individuals voluntarily resigning is as high as 67%, while only 12% was dismissed by the company, and 1 1% was terminated naturally. White-collar workers have a single job and no challenges. Their knowledge is "devalued" bit by bit every day, gradually losing their advantages, leading to the devaluation of social status, the formation of professional crisis, and white-collar unemployment is inevitable. In today's workplace, white-collar workers are choosing salaries and occupations, and occupations are also choosing white-collar workers. A two-way talent circulation market has been formed.

Idle and desperate. A survey called "Reality and Dreams" reveals the reasons for many behaviors of urban white-collar workers through 300,000 questionnaires. Behind decent private cars and spacious houses, urban white-collar workers also suffer a lot: as many as 34% of people with a monthly income of more than 1 10,000 yuan have no time to exercise, while only 14% of people with a monthly income of between 5,000 yuan and 7,000 yuan can. In addition, the proportion of married white-collar workers who choose to continue the "husband and wife world" after five years is 22%. They are too tired to have children easily. When it comes to work, almost everyone is desperate. Working overtime is a common practice. They may be exhausted when they get home at night, but as long as they are in the office, they will never be tired. White-collar workers have a strong sense of urgency and pressure. They are worried that they will be fired by their boss, that their business has not improved, that others will surpass them, and that they are at a disadvantage in the competition. Due to the long-term overdraft of energy and knowledge, white-collar workers have a strong sense of charging, and 90% of the respondents agree with the concept of lifelong learning. Due to hard work, the health of white-collar workers has become a serious problem. 120,000 physical examiners, 85% belong to white-collar workers, and 89% of them were found to have abnormal items, including sub-health status of 69.5%, hyperlipidemia of 27.89%, fatty liver of 26.6 1% and hypertension of 0/4.

Pink collar: landing in modern metropolis

Heavy makeup and light makeup are always appropriate. It's really my style. Pink collar is a new group in the workplace in recent years. Women-dominated freelancers are SOHO people who work at home. In recent years, in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities, "SOHO" has become the yearning for women who pursue free entrepreneurship. One of its obvious characteristics is that most of them are related to computers. Many people choose SOHO to run personal business through the Internet, or form a virtual group with two or three friends to develop their careers on the Internet. It can be said that the rapid development of information industry and computer technology has led to the appearance of pink-collared beauty. Now more and more professional women are tired of the rigid rules and regulations in the company and eager to get rid of complicated interpersonal relationships. They love freedom and emphasize individuality, so they choose to be pink-collared beauties. Pink-collared beauties bring work into the family, and at the same time, they can make their careers flourish. According to the survey, the average income of pink-collar beauty catches up with or exceeds that of white-collar workers, and many people earn more than 6,543,800 yuan a year.

No dependence, little sense of security and weak potential. Although pink collars live freely, they are freelancers without strong backing. They earn money by their own hands and have no "public welfare" such as free medical care, pensions and pension funds. Once there is no source of funds, life will be lost; They all focus on their own homes and "take orders" or "wait for calls" in the form of individuals. Once they encounter disputes, they will be weak. Many pink-collar beauties lament that joining SOHO will face great pressure, because there has been no stable income and leisure time is closed for a month, so they are busy day and night. In particular, some customers deliberately depress prices and even default on their accounts. Pink collars generally don't fight with them or go to court. They are swollen and fat, showing great self-restraint and grace. Pink collar dare not slack off in learning new knowledge. They know that once they can't keep up with the pace of the times and fall behind, it is difficult to maintain three meals a day, not to mention "leisure". Constantly learning knowledge and constantly updating skills, pink collars dare not take it lightly for a moment.

Sweet and sour. Pink collar life is sweet and happy, full of romance. However, before they join SOHO, they must first have full confidence in themselves, personal resources based on society, and intellectual and skill capital to challenge alone. SOHO is not a simple working state. Once they join SOHO, they will face many difficulties like a real entrepreneur. Secondly, we should have a plain and calm attitude and have a full estimate of our income. If the situation cannot be solved, the income may be much lower than that of office workers. Third, we should have good interpersonal relationships, which is the basis of doing a good job in pink collar beauty. Pink collar work is like a rubber band, loose and irregular, all by personal skills. Therefore, to do a good job in pink collar requires perseverance and good psychological quality.

Grey collar: A dark horse comes out of the Jianghu.

Things are rare and expensive, and their value doubles. Grey collar is a compound talent who can think and do, and it is a "commodity" that is in short supply in the workplace. Some students in higher vocational colleges whose main goal is to cultivate practical ability are allocated particularly well. Many employers "grab" talents in schools, and some professional graduates are booked away by employers two or three months in advance. Shanghai dianji university's 300 graduates were approached by Volkswagen and Intel 1/3. The sample survey of employment demand conducted by Suzhou Labor and Employment Management Office in June, 2005 showed that 472 enterprises planned to recruit 9 1000 skilled personnel in 2005. The ratio of senior technician positions to talents in Beijing is 7.3: 1, and it is as high as 43: 1 in Anyang. The insiders believe that the proportion of "white collar", "gray collar" and "blue collar" will become a diamond in the future, that is to say, the proportion of "white collar" and "blue collar" will gradually decrease, and "gray collar" will become more and more powerful and become the main group of society. Due to the tight market of gray collar, its value has doubled. At present, the monthly salary is at least 5000-6000 yuan. In some emerging industries such as animation production, the monthly salary is as high as 20 thousand yuan, which is higher than that of white-collar workers.

Weak, difficult to transform, latent crisis. Gray collar mostly graduated from higher vocational colleges, and is a "third-grade admission" student in the college entrance examination. Their cultural background is thin and their potential is weak. After taking up their jobs, most of them are operational jobs. When they fall into routine, operational and streamlined work, their substitutability will be enhanced, their competitiveness will be reduced, and the transformation will be difficult. Therefore, experts have made "three moves" for the survival and development of the gray collar: First, newcomers in the workplace can take the gray collar career as the starting point of their careers. It may not be so easy for college graduates or "chicks" who have just entered the workplace to become white-collar workers at once. You can start from the operation work and accumulate experience in combination with your major. Second, gray-collar talents can seek transformation. Generally speaking, operating staff can transform into the field of technology research and development, so as to sublimate their knowledge, improve their skills and enhance their adaptability and competitiveness. Third, the "gold medal" gray collar should stick to its post. For the "gold medal" gray collar with profound qualifications in Chaoyang industry, we should not lightly talk about transformation, but accumulate rich experience and become a "permanent" sought-after talent in the gray collar market.

Hot and cold. The concept of "grey collar" has been a hot topic since it was put forward in August 2003. Highly respected and sought after, reports of a serious shortage of gray-collar talents and generous salaries are frequently seen in newspapers. In the workplace, gray collars are hot. However, behind this heat is indifference. First, the constraints of traditional ideas. China people have always had the concept of "people who work hard govern people, and people who work hard govern people". Therefore, many students pursue famous universities in the college entrance examination, but few people apply for higher vocational education. Moreover, many college students choose "white collar" and too few choose "gray collar". This has formed a strange phenomenon in the talent market. On the one hand, it is difficult for college students to find jobs, on the other hand, there is a shortage of gray-collar talents. Second, the concept of employing people is wrong. Nowadays, many enterprises either recruit a large number of people who are not qualified for employment; Either you would rather recruit undergraduates with different majors than professional higher vocational students. Third, the concept of education is outdated. At present, the gray collar of enterprises in China is mainly cultivated by enterprises themselves, and the training method is also that the master takes the apprentice, which has poor results. The current education system pays attention to book theory and ignores practical operation, which does not meet the training requirements of gray-collar talents. Even in the enrollment of colleges and universities, colleges and universities are the best candidates, and higher vocational colleges can only be "embedded with the army." Among the "left-behind people" who have been admitted to prestigious schools and universities, "short people choose generals", which affects the quality of gray-collar talents.

Blue-collar: the disadvantaged groups are shouting

National blue-collar workers are "tight" and resources are scarce. It is almost an indisputable fact that the population size of blue-collar groups in China is growing rapidly. Although the number of employees in the state-owned manufacturing industry has dropped significantly, the number of jobs provided by non-state-owned manufacturing industries has increased significantly. Moreover, with the emergence of a large number of new industrial terminal products such as computers, air conditioners, color TVs, refrigerators and mobile phones, the employment scope of blue-collar workers has extended from "production lines" to the after-sales service field in the consumption process. At present, blue-collar workers in China are composed of two parts: ordinary urban workers and migrant workers. It is precisely because of the great increase in the demand for blue-collar workers that there has been a large-scale "shortage of migrant workers" in the country. Experts pointed out that the essence of economic globalization is the re-optimized allocation and international division of labor of international capital on a global scale. In a sense, the global relocation of capital means the global relocation of jobs. Therefore, the competition for limited jobs is one of the most important components of global competition, among which blue-collar jobs are the most competitive areas.

Multiple prejudices, neglected, vulnerable groups. According to a survey published by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in 2004, since 12, the monthly wages of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta region have only increased by 68 yuan. If factors such as prices are taken into account, it is actually negative growth. Even if the salary is very low, workers still can't get the full amount, and the phenomenon of unpaid wages has become commonplace. There are three main situations that cause labor conflicts. First, enterprises deduct workers' wages for no reason; Second, the labor contract is imperfect, and enterprises often unilaterally tear up the contract and dismiss employees; Third, it is difficult to settle claims for medical expenses or compensation fees after employees are injured at work. This shows that the social status and economic treatment of blue-collar workers are too low. To this end, blue-collar workers are also shouting and even complaining in many places. However, how many people speak for blue-collar workers? What's the effect? Xiong Deming, a peasant woman from Chongqing who was once concerned by Premier * * *, went from Chongqing to Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province at the end of 2004 to beg for wages for her fellow villagers, but failed in the end. The social contribution of the blue-collar group is not respected, and the indifference to the blue-collar behavior pattern and values is not only a problem of a blue-collar group, but more importantly, a social problem of the morbid development of the social role and social image of China countries.

Poor and content. Blue-collar workers in China are a vulnerable group. They live at the bottom of society and are ignored because of poverty. Although they complain, they bite their teeth. Although there were tears, they flowed into my stomach. They are content that life is much better than in previous years; Horizontal ratio is much better than farming in rural areas. Easy satisfaction is the common feature of blue-collar workers. The living conditions of blue-collar workers have attracted the attention of relevant departments. At the National "Two Sessions" in 2005, NPC deputies and CPPCC members called for raising the wages and benefits of blue-collar workers, improving their living conditions and improving their social status. According to the announcement of the national authority, China plans to train 200 million migrant workers by 20 10, and the development of blue-collar skilled workers in at least eight provinces and cities such as Shanghai and Heilongjiang has been placed in a prominent position, and it is only a matter of time before many other regions follow up. Rebuilding a blue-collar team adapted to the industrialization process in China has become an urgent need for the sustainable development of the national economy.

The color of "collar" changes one step away.

There are no clear standards and boundaries for the division of the "five collars" in China, and the change may be just a step away.

It is only a matter of opportunity and strength for "white collar" and "pink collar" to ascend the throne of "golden collar". Through unremitting efforts and hard work, it is not impossible to realize the dream of "Golden Collar". Even if migrant workers come out of the countryside, many people will become famous "golden collars" in a few years. Zheng, general manager of Shandong Huaxian Group, Sun Fengxiang, chairman and general manager of Liaoning Fengxiang Group, and chairman of Guangdong chigo air conditioning Company all entered the "golden collar" class by farmers.

Many "pink collars" have been engaged in "white-collar" experience. The boundary between "gray collar" and "white collar" is only the division of work, that is, the distance from the office to the workshop. "Grey collar" is a part of "blue collar of knowledge". Strengthening the cultivation of "blue collar" and expanding the "gray collar" team is the direction of talent development in the future. With the gradual advancement of industrial informatization and information industrialization, the future "white collar" work and "gray collar" work will be the difference between creative management and hands-on operation.

"Blue collar" comes from urban residents and rural farmers, and farmers engaged in rural mechanization operations are now classified as "blue collar". The "blue-collar" team is expanding, and the transition between blue-collar and gray-collar, blue-collar and collarless is only instantaneous.

If there is no "golden collar", "white collar" will have no motivation; If there is no "blue collar", "white collar" will lose its foundation. Therefore, a healthy society should maintain the benign interaction of social roles such as gold collar, white collar, pink collar, gray collar and blue collar. Only in this way can our society become more colorful and develop rapidly.

Say it again:

Gold collar → white collar → gray collar → blue collar (blue collar is divided into sharp blue, pure blue and dark blue)

Golden collar: The golden collar class is a class with a high concentration of social elites. They may not have ownership of the means of production, but they have the most important technology and management rights of a company. Fortune magazine in the United States commented on Jinling in this way: he is between 25 and 45 years old, well educated, with certain work experience, business planning ability, professional skills and certain social relations resources, and his annual salary is between 6.5438+0.5 million US dollars and 400,000 US dollars. The questionnaire survey conducted by the Urban Social and Economic Investigation Corps of the National Bureau of Statistics on 9,956 urban high-income families in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other provinces and cities 10 shows that most of the "golden collar" high-income classes have a monthly salary of more than10,000 yuan, own a house of their own, and the market price is about 800,000 yuan, with an imported car or at least one domestic car made by Audi and Santana.

White-collar workers: the class that needs formal clothes such as suits to go to work. White-collar workers in office buildings were first known to people. Most of them are well educated. They were hired by the boss because of their skills. They know how to dress appropriately and are independent in their work. Facing the impermanent world, it is more philosophical and the way to deal with problems is more practical. According to American standards, white-collar workers refer to people who earn $80,000 a year and do pure mental work (American standards).

Grey collar: Compared with "white-collar" and "blue-collar", white-collar workers are generally managers or do some clerical work, while "grey collar" has both strong theoretical knowledge and skilled technicians. But the "gray collar" is not like the first-line blue collar. Their salary is 3-5 times that of ordinary blue-collar workers. They have more knowledge and better majors than blue-collar workers. Engaged in electronics engineer, software development engineer, decoration design engineer, drawing engineer, spraying engineer and other occupations.

Blue-collar: As a relative group of white-collar workers, blue-collar workers refer to the working class who are engaged in manual labor and require uniforms. They get paid by giving their own physical strength. Therefore, their wages are not high. According to relevant statistics, the salary of blue-collar workers is usually not higher than 1000 yuan. Generally, blue and dark blue are engaged in manual labor, but dark blue refers to people with certain skills. Sharp blue is an intermediate transitional class and may change like a white-collar worker.
