2011.11.07 (Review of 2009.05.11 edition)

Welcome back! It's Monday and WordMaster@Work is open for business once again! Let us know if you see anything you like.

We're devoting most of this week to words that describe a person's work status: whether someone has a job or not, whether they've stopped working entirely or are just easing into that transition, etc. But we're also counting down to a VERY special edition - and day - at the end of the week. So be sure to stay with us for all the excitement!

Today's Lesson

  • To employ someone is to pay them to work for you.

    To be employed is to have a job that you're paid to do.

    To be employable is to have skills that make it possible for you to be employed.
