Definition
- EMPLOYMENT CAN BE categorized in many ways: blue-collar versus white-collar, full-time versus part-time, year-round versus seasonal, permanent versus migrant, skilled versus semiskilled or unskilled, unionized versus nonunionized, experienced versus apprentice. Classifications by type of work can be reduced to four basic categories: professional, service, industrial, and agricultural. [Source: Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Employment]
