Control working and income (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dominance

'control' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'working and income' is the wordplay.
'working' is an anagram indicator.
'and'+'income'='andincome'
'andincome' anagrammed gives 'DOMINANCE'.

(Other definitions for dominance that I've seen before include "Influence (over others)" , "top position" , "Ascendancy" , "Commanding position" , "Supremacy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
