It's very generalised, so not really meant to prove anything, but could be interesting. Just to clarify that it's to record the person with dementia's (previous/present) employment, and not the carer's.
Blue Collar - Employees who work mainly with their hands.
* Unskilled - Blue collar workers who need no previous skills or knowledge to carry out the job.
* Semi - Skilled - Blue collar workers who need some skill or education to carry out the job.
* Skilled - Blue collar workers who have been trained specifically to do a particular job that involves a series of complex tasks.
White Collar - Employees who do very little physical work.
* Professional - White collar workers whose job is highly skilled and specialized. They usually must have certain training to do the job.
