labour-intensive

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

'requiring lots of hands' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'to rub in vaseline all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'rub'+'in'+'vaseline'='torubinvaseline'
'torubinvaseline' anagrammed gives 'LABOUR-INTENSIVE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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