Wage recipient (6)

I believe the answer is:

earner

(Other definitions for earner that I've seen before include "Something making a good profit (colloq.)" , "One bringing in wage" , "Person bringing in" , "Something that makes a profit" , "Something bringing in money" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
