Human Resources / birth certificate

Italian term or phrase: impiegato/a

On the birth certificate, almost every name is followed by birth date, birth place and "impiegato/a", except for the midwife, who has "ostetrica capo", naturally. I know that "impiegato" normally means office worker, but I want to be entirely sure - what if it just means "employed", as opposed to "unemployed" - in case the vital statistics official doesn't know the profession?

Exerpt: "avanti di me, Ufficiale dello stato civile, è comparsa [cognome, nome], nata in [luogo] li [data], ostetrica capo, ... e quale ufficale a ciò delegato dal Direttore dell'Ospedale ... mi ha dichiarato quanto segue:
... da [cognome, nome della madre], impiegata, nata in [luogo] li [data], cittadina italiana, residente in [luogo], moglie di [cognome, nome della padre], impiegato ... è nato un bambino ... .

(if "impiegato" is used to refer to a member of the local authority staff, "official" would be more appropriate, but from your context it looks like this it not the case)
