In Urdu, safaid posh is used for a social class. But never for a specific type of jobs. You will never find expressions like safaid posh naukri (job) , but expressions like safaid posh tabqey ki mushkilat (problems of middle class) are quite common.
In English, it is completely opposite. White collar is never used to describe some social class. Its use is associated with a specific type of jobs.
