French city cut employment for another one (8)
I believe the answer is:
toulouse
'french city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cut employment for another one' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'employment' could be 'use' (how something is used) and 'use' is present in the answer.
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is found in the answer.
'another' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for toulouse that I've seen before include "Lautrec's French town" , "___-Lautrec" , "City in southern France" , "Southern French city" , "City in SW France" .)
