Various sub-groups of the category of employees (353-3) are sometimes distinguished. One such sub-group is home workers1, who work in their own homes, sometimes for several employers. Among the employees a distinction is sometimes made between manual workers2 or operatives2 and non-manual workers3 or clerical and office workers3 and others. Manual workers maybe further sub-divided according to their skill4, skilled workers5, semi-skilled workers6 and unskilled workers7 being distinguished. Apprentices8 are sometimes shown as a sub-category of employees.
