Please help me with the difference between WORKER and LABOURER!
Hi!
1 I'm wondering whether WORKER and LABOURER mean the same? I think they are both used to describe a person who does hard physical work. Is it correct?
2 Can I say: He works as a labourer?
Thank you very much

"Worker" is anyone who works. It is extremely general. "Labourer" often means "manual worker". Where the context is clear e.g. a building site, you could say "workers" and it would be clear that they were manual workers.

They can both be used in the same way. However, labourer tends to be specifically about people who do hard physical work. Whereas worker can be for any job really - although we tend to not use it do much for well-paid white collar work.
