Point an eccentric miser out to the workers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miners

'the workers' is the definition.
(miner is a kind of worker)

'point an eccentric miser out' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
'an eccentric' is an anagram indicator.
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'miser' anagrammed gives 'miers'.
'n' going inside 'miers' is 'MINERS'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for miners that I've seen before include "They excavate the earth" , "Extractors" , "Pit workers" , "They work below ground" , "They work to get ore and minerals from the earth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
