 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete. While the term is used, I cannot see sources that would move it beyond a one-sentence dictionary definition. Perhaps soft redirect / merger to some glossary, or perhaps we could have some article on Types of workers in United States, if those terms have legal significance? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:20, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  So Why  07:38, 20 June 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: delete, merge or transwiki to Wiktionary?
 * Support – As stated, it's nothing more than a governmental definition. If anything, it could be turned into a soft redirect to a Wiktionary page or something, but even that seems inappropriate. Perhaps it could redirect to a more relevant Wikipedia article. V2Blast (talk) 08:16, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's an odd definition used only by the US government (no government or agricultural workers?). Clarityfiend (talk) 10:03, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, merge, or move to Wiktionary — see for example migrant worker or itinerant worker.  --Hirsutism (talk) 22:18, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wikipedia is not a collection of jargon.  Dr Strauss   talk  06:50, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  So Why  12:09, 28 June 2017 (UTC) Comment - the ways workers are categorized by different governments could be a useful article. Jonpatterns (talk) 09:03, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom as non-notable. Without proper context this is useless; with proper context, it wouldn't be necessary.  --Lockley (talk) 18:53, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
