Who is the patron saint of work?

Thanks.

As there are many different types of “work”, there would be more than one patron saint involved. St. Joseph, the spouse of Mary and foster father of Jesus, under his title “St. Jospeh the Workman” would be one patron for those whose jobs involve manual labor, however there are lots of types of manual labor. Carpenters, for example, would certainly claim Joseph as their patron, while gardeners and landscapers have St. Fiacre as theirs. St. Thomas More is one of the patrons of lawyers, and doctors and nurses have about 14 different patron saints to choose from.

What sort of work, specifically, do you mean?

Factory. (The worst kind).
