Where there’s no job for a dude (5)
I believe the answer is:
ranch
'where there's no job' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'a dude' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ranch that I've seen before include "where stock is held" , "Large tract of land for raising livestock" , "Agricultural complex" , "Cattle-breeding farm in America, say in Texas" , "Spread" .)
