Hi Ivar,

In the statistics provided by the Pilgrim's Office with regard to pilgrim status, a large number of pilgrims are referred to as 'liberales'. I have looked at a number of dictionaries and can't find anything other than 'liberals'. Do you know what it means?

Liberated? Freed?

Liberated? Freed?

Better said, people who are liberated or freed.

Thank you, Ivar! Signs of new life

Not sure and open to correction, but I seem to remember it from the pilgrims office as self employed professional?? There are a limited number of loose employment status options used to enter pilgrim statistics on the database.

Thanks for that everyone. Self-employed might be closest....

My understanding is "self-employed" in professions such as medical doctor, lawyer...
Common characteristics : advanced university degrees, on their own, setting up their own fares, in some limited professional areas.
