Wesley -- You need this! Green Linnet in 1990 released a compilation called "Hard Cash", companion to a BBC TV series, of songs dealing with work and workers. It's an excellent collection. Here's the lowdown:

Time to Ring some Changes (Richard Thompson)
The Great Provider (Clive Gregson & Christine Collister)
A Living Wage (Ron Kavana)
Work Life out to keep Life in (Martin Carthy)
You're the Pits (Dave Kelly)
Odd Job Man (Jo Ann Kelly)
Mrs Rita (June Tabor)
Hilda's Cabinet Band (The Watersons)

The Jute Mill Song (June Tabor)
Master and Servant (Dave Kelly & Hilary Fletcher)
Oh I Swear (Richard Thompson)
