field workers
Outdoor agricultural employees
Field workers are employees who work outdoors or at locations away from a central office—agricultural laborers harvesting crops, researchers collecting data in remote areas, or sales representatives visiting clients.
The term often specifically means farmworkers: Field workers picked strawberries from dawn to dusk.
In social services, field workers conduct home visits or community outreach rather than office-based work.
