third grade workers


Explanation:
OFICIAL:

"Worker with average qualifications who is assigned tasks or work involving a degree of initiative or responsibility. Skilled or craft workers are usually classified as a subgroup or category of obreros (manual workers ), which is in turn divided into various grades (first, second, etc.) according to occupational skills, the degree of responsibility involved in the work or other similar factors. The Spanish term oficial dates back to the time of craft guilds and is most used in particular economic sectors (construction, wood, metalworking, etc.)."

I realise \"Third Grade\" sounds rather grim, but that\'s the usual scale, working up from \"tercera - - segunda - primera\" and then onto \"Especialista\".........
