White-collar refers to professionals who perform desk, administrative, or managerial work. Interestingly, when the Washington Post analyzed the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey to measure job satisfaction, they found that overall, white-collar workers experience more stress than blue-collar workers.
The inevitable dilemma of civilizational development is something every society must face.

This inevitable dilemma is primarily influenced by how we ourselves have changed, and what matters is how we address and adapt to these situations as they arise.
