Back when GMAC (General Motors Acceptance Corporation, the car loan part of GM) was a more closely held subsidiary, I expect the employees were counted as manufacturing workers. I believe all the current GM employees are counted as manufacturing.

Workers aren't important. Capital is. F...K the workers! Just spread the capital more evenly and they will find something (useful) to do Thus the question "how would all the plethora of office workers be graded?" Look to what happened to telecoms workers. AT&T when was dismembered released a lot of workers doing pseudo jobs as new technologies emerged. 20+ years hence they vanished and the world did not stop. Au contraire! The progress was immense after they disappeared. The important thing was the capital unlocked and unleashed byt the new set of circumstances that surrounded telecoms startying 1984 or about that time. De-regulation, provatization, competition... Today shirtless are having the same type of services the OCD countries people have!! Before that, (when workers were impritant) half of mankind had never ever heard a dial tone!!! F...K the workers! Just spread the capital more evenly and they will find something (useful) to do.
