Societies will develop new ways of working and new ways of doing business. To throw a blanket over that with a list of who can do what jobs seems like a huge waste of a nation's creativity. No government office is going to anticipate new things like web developer or personal trainer. And common things like vegetable seller are just being added to the list!
