Can you say who you are talking about so we can have a look?
Have you looked at the original?
I just looked at one which was transcribed as Business Labourer, but he was actually a builders labourer!

The person concerned was Reginald Aubert Price living at 1 Beyer Street Manchester. On the original his wife Martha is a hotel cleaner and underneath a whole list of employees that would work in a hotel. But it still states Reginald was a Business Labourer. Reginald was born 1889 in Ludlow Shropshire.
