Top Bluecollar Jobs in demand

According to the division of the workforce, bluecollar workers perform jobs that need physical work or manual labour. Work that can not be performed while sitting on the desk inside an A/C room, but on the factory floor or outside on the ground or field. The nature of physical hardship in blue-collar work spoils clothes and hands with dirt, which our Indian society doesn’t find respectable jobs. Our old cultured and feudal mindset still has not grown out of that dislike towards the work that involves dirty hands and clothes.
