Is the image of the typical American worker as a blue-collar worker true? Substantiate your answer with facts

The Homer Simpson image of the typical American worker as a blue-collar worker is really quite misleading. The majority of American workers, like workers in all developed countries, produce services, not goods. In 2013, about 70 percent of all non-farm workers in the United States were employed by private service industries, whereas only 14 percent produced goods. By contrast, manufacturing companies in the United States employed only 12 million people, and almost a third of those worked in offices rather than in the factory.
