pink-collaradjective
Of or pertaining to employees in predominately female service industries.

Wikipedia
pink-collar
A pink-collar worker is someone working in the care-oriented career field or in fields historically considered to be women's work. This may include jobs in the beauty industry, nursing, social work, teaching, secretarial work, upholstery, or child care. While these jobs may also be filled by men, they have historically been female-dominated (a tendency that continues today, though to a somewhat lesser extent) and may pay significantly less than white-collar or blue-collar jobs.Women's work, and defining women to particular fields within the workplace, began to rise in the 1940s concurrently with World War II.
