Party concentrated, needing a lot of workers (6-9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

labour-intensive

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

'a lot of workers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'party concentrated' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'labour' (Labour Party is an example).
'concentrated' becomes 'intensive' (synonyms).
'labour'+'intensive'='LABOUR-INTENSIVE'

'needing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for labour-intensive that I've seen is " Involving much work".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
