What's the use of working? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

employment

This clue is a double definition.

'what's the use' is the first definition.
('employment' can be a synonym of 'use')

'working?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for employment that I've seen before include "A person's work or profession" , "The utilisation of something" , "Paid work" , "Utilization" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
