灰領
灰領是指未歸類為白領或藍領的高技能就業人員。它有時也指那些已到退休年齡後繼續工作的老年人。就收入而言，灰領通常介於白領以及藍領之間。[1][2][3]
灰領工人通常擁有特定領域的專科學校或技術學校的畢業證、副學士學位、證書或文憑。他們與藍領工人不同，藍領工人通常可以在剛開始工作的頭幾周內接受培訓，而灰領工人在入職前就已經擁有特定的技能，並且比藍領同行需要擁有更多的專業知識。

The least defined term of all seems to be grey collar, which can refer to those working well into their 60s, because they can't afford to retire, or to an underemployed white collar worker, such as someone with a bachelor's degree in English literature working as a customer service representative.
