New Orleans working time (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noon

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

'time' is the definition.
(noon is a kind of time)

'new orleans working' is the wordplay.
'new orleans' becomes 'no' (this could be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'no'+'on'='NOON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noon that I've seen before include "[LUNCHTIME] ?" , "See 8" , "12 o'clock" , "when PM starts" , "Twelve o'clock, midday" .)
