Usage Note
Empleo is the formal or official word for employment or a job position; trabajo is the everyday equivalent. Tasa de empleo is 'employment rate', pleno empleo is 'full employment', and Oficina de Empleo is a job centre. The verb emplear means both 'to employ' and 'to use/apply' (emplear un método), so empleo can also mean 'use' in formal writing.
