6.0
Anu Garg's A.Word.A.Day (Jan. 2, 2026) defines 'new-collar' as jobs requiring specialized skills without necessarily a college degree, tracing the term to 1984. The piece notes IBM CEO Ginni Rometty's 2016 rebranding toward tech-focused credentials and cites fields like cybersecurity, cloud computing, and generative AI. It implies jobseekers and practitioners should consider certifications, apprenticeships, and on-the-job training to access these roles.
