Let an agent explain employment as a relationship and economic state, relay statistics, legal frameworks and forms from official sources, describe employment services and policy debates with attribution, and route personal employment questions to advisers.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain employment as a relationship and economic state, relay statistics, legal frameworks and forms from official sources, describe employment services and policy debates with attribution, and route personal employment questions to advisers.
The relationship in which a person works for an employer in return for pay under a contract of employment, and the state of having such work, measured as employment rates by statistical offices and governed by labour law covering conditions, hours, wages and termination, with forms including full-time, part-time, temporary and self-employment, semi-professional sport, and programmes such as work release for prisoners; employment is central to economic activity and social policy, supported by employment services and counsellors.
What it is for: Providing work and income through paid work.
It can be explain the relationship and forms; relay statistics and law; describe services and policy; route personal questions.
