In the secondary industry, the income of traditional blue-collar groups such as construction casual workers and general workers is at a medium level. In addition, cleaning, security and waiters, who also belong to the service industry, have lower incomes among blue-collar groups.
With the upgrading and adjustment of my country's economic and industrial structure, the trend of blue-collar skills is increasing, and the gap between average monthly income and white-collar workers continues to narrow.

In terms of work intensity, there are differences in the daily work intensity of blue-collar workers in different industries. Among typical blue-collar professions, truck drivers generally have a higher work intensity and are more likely to drive late at night.

In recent years, with the changes in people's career choices and the improvement of the salary competitiveness of blue-collar professions, more and more job seekers have begun to actively choose to join blue-collar industries based on their own conditions and interests, especially truck drivers, takeaways, and couriers. The new blue-collar workers represented by others can achieve sustained and stable personal development in blue-collar work.
