What does the term "pink collar" mean in the work world?

I think that it refers to either female office workers or female medical personnel such as nurses.

I think 'pink collar' refers to relatively low-paying jobs (that don't require degrees) traditionally held by women - like a cosmetologist, hair sylist or receptionist. It's the female version of 'blue collar.'

A 'pink-collar' job is one that has usually been held by women in this country - teaching, secretarial work and things like that. Pink-collar jobs are usually remarkable for their low pay-to-responsibility ratio.

Pink collar refers to non-professional occupations typically held by women. By non-professional, I mean ocupations requiring less than a bachelor's degree, such as a secretary.

I have always heard that 'pink collar' referred to women on the margins of the sex industry. Taxi dancers and strippers as opposed to prostitutes and porn stars. Aren't secretaries essentially 'white collar' like their office bound brethren?
