Work for those too careless for regular employment? (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

casual labour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'too careless for regular employment?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'work for those' is the wordplay.
'work' becomes 'labour' (labour is a kind of work).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'those' becomes 'casual' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'labour' after 'casual' is 'CASUAL LABOUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for casual labour that I've seen before include "Workers taken on when required" , "Seasonal or temporary workers" , "Workers without fixed employment" , "Seasonal employees" , "only employed occasionally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
