I read the occupation of Pierre Motz as Minetsarbeiter. This word is unknown to me and I can't find it in any dictionary. Arbeiter means "worker" and Minet may be a particular luxembourgian word, maybe meaning "mine". So Minetsarbeiter may be a mine worker. In fact, Esch sur Alzette is located in the region called "Minett" which is a historic mining area (https://www.visitluxembourg.com/destinations/regions/minett).
The people in lines 6 to 12 have the status (column 3) "in Kost" which means "boarding", i.e., they were living with the family and paid for room and board. All except the last (female) have the same (id) occupation as the father, they were Minetsarbeiter, too.

Thank you Ulrich! It must have been a decent size home for all those people.

Well, there was probably not much space for each of them. I would assume that several shared one room.

@BrandonSundeen and @Ulrich Neitzel,
FYI: Using Google Translate and inputting "Minetsarbeiter" in Luxembourgish, the English result is: mining worker. So, Ulrich, mine worker makes sense in this context.
