A job is work that a person does to earn money. The word "job" is usually only used when a person works for someone else, an employer, who pays for the work. For example, a teacher's job is to teach children. A taxi driver's job is to drive people in a taxi. A firefighter rescues people from burning buildings and puts out fires. A dermatologist's job is to diagnose and treat skin diseases.

Employment From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Look up employment in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. This article is about work. For the Kaiser Chiefs album, see Employment (album). Employment is a contract between two parties, one being the employer and the other being the employee. An employee may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." Black's Law Dictionary page 471 (5th ed. 1979). In a commercial setting, the employer conceives of a productive activity, generally with the intention of creating profits, and the employee contributes labour to the enterprise, usually in return for payment of wages. Employment also exists in the public, non-profit and household sectors. To the extent that employment or the economic equivalent is not universal, unemployment exists.
