Employed for Dummies

Hey there! So, "employed" is a word we use to describe someone who has a job and is working for a company or organization. When you are employed, it means that you are working and earning money from that work. It's kind of like when you have a job to do chores at home and your parents give you an allowance for doing those chores - that's sort of like being employed!

There are actually two main definitions of "employed". The first one is what I just talked about - having a job and earning money from that job. The second definition is more general, and it just means being engaged in some activity or occupation. For example, you could be employed in practicing basketball if you're on a basketball team, or you could be employed in learning new things if you're studying for a test.

So, being employed is all about being busy and active in some kind of work or activity that you're doing. It's a cool word because it can apply to both having a job and being engaged in any kind of activity. I hope that helps you understand what "employed" means!
