I think it is far too easy to classify as "desk vs. labour" - plenty of people I know that are in desk jobs are complete tools, don't have to critically think in their job and have a pretty easy schedule.
Other "desk" jobs are mentally taxing and draining - dealing with a multitude of problems, deadlines and projects causing far more stress than your average construction dude.
On the whole, most people in labour are there because they don't have the brains / willpower to work at a desk. Yep, I know that's a pretty DB comment, but it's pretty true.

Well, since we're already classifying people's intelligence by whether they're behind a desk or not, on the whole I would have to say that most people behind desks are there becaue they're too scrawny, fat, or effiminate to lift and/or move anything outdoors.
