Article about employment leads to a feeling of disgust (6)

I believe the answer is:

nausea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a feeling of disgust' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'article about employment leads' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'employment' becomes 'use' ('use' can be a synonym of 'employment').
'leads' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an' backwards is 'na'.
'na'+'use'+'a'='NAUSEA'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nausea that I've seen before include "Feeling of imminent sickness, may be caused by sea" , "Aversion" , "Feeling of revulsion" , "Squeamishness" , "Unpleasant feeling" .)
