workfolk
Those who toil
Workfolk is a somewhat old-fashioned or regional term for workers or laborers, particularly those engaged in manual or agricultural work.
It functions as a collective noun referring to people who work, especially on farms or in trades.
The workfolk gathered at dawn to begin the harvest.
The term has a rustic quality and appears more commonly in British dialects and historical texts than in contemporary American English.
