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

What will be an ideal response?

The so-called 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. Based on data from 2016, over 70 percent of all nonfarm workers in the United States were employed by private service industries, whereas only 14 percent produced goods. And of these, manufacturing companies in the United States employed only 12 million people, with nearly a third of these workers in offices rather than on the floor of a factory.
