Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weber's classification of workers includes four categories: bureaucrats, unskilled workers, craftsmen, and semi-skilled manual workers. Rachel's job on the assembly line requires specific training, which puts her in the semi-skilled manual worker category. The other choices are not applicable to Rachel's situation since she has a specific skill set that is not classified as unskilled or craftsman work, and she does not work in a bureaucratic role.
