An open-collar worker refers to a person who does jobs at home that once required an office setting.
Open-collar worker（字面意思为“开领工人”）指把家当办公室，在家里上班的人，即“自由职业者”。
Home-based entrepreneurship is attracting growing numbers of recruits to its ranks. These "open-collar workers" come from a variety of backgrounds: lifelong entrepreneurs, homemakers, downsized workers, graduate students, stay-at-home parents, homebound disabled people and retirees. But their goals are similar: to be their own bosses, work flexible hours and devote their efforts to projects they love.
家庭创业正在吸引越来越多的人加入。这些“开领工人”的背景各不相同：有资深企业家、家政工人、被裁员工、刚毕业的学生、居家父母、不宜外出的残疾人以及退休人员，等等。不过，他们的目标是一样的：做自己的老板，工作时间灵活，还能花精力做自己喜欢的事情。
