How to return view in controller? - laravel

Question

I need to pull in data to my view but this doesn't work:
return view ('sub-domain', ['worker' => $worker ]);
Here is my code:
public function aerospace(Request $request , Worker $worker ){
$worker = $worker->newQuery();
if ($request->has('profession')) {
$worker->where('profession', $request->input('profession'));
}
if ($request->has('state')) {
$worker->where('state', $request->input('state'));
}
if ($request->has('local_govt')) {
$worker->where('local_govt', $request->input('local_govt'));
}
return $worker->get();
The above code brings out an array of data from the database which I can then filter with "domain/sub-domain?state=xyz"
Now when I try to pass in the data into my views using
return view ('sub-domain', ['worker' => $worker ]);
The page is loaded but no $worker data is loaded on the page. How can I pull the data? Here is my view file
<div class="row">
<form method="GET" action="">
Profession:<input type="text" name="profession"> State:<input type="text" name="state"> Local Govt:<input type="text" name="local_govt">
<button type="submit">Filter</button>
</form>
</div>
<div class="row">
#foreach ($worker as $worker)
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6">
<div class="member">
<div class="pic"><img src="avatar/{{$worker->avatar}}" alt=""></div>
<div class="details">
<h4>{{$worker->name}} {{$worker->l_name}}</h4>
<span>{{$worker->profession}}</span><br>{{ $worker->state }}
</div>
</div>
</div> #endforeach
</div>
I want to filter data by certain parameters, if there's a better way to do that please do let me know. But first I need the data to display.

You are returning a query instance, not a collection or singular model. That's why the get() method works. So first do:
$worker = $worker->get();
