Job Security

Published by

Is it OK to use the expression “job security” in a scholarly article (to say that a character doesn’t have it)?

It sounds very tacky to me but maybe it’s just my personal hangup.

    “Job security” sounds a bit casual or informal. Economic security, financial security, or stable employment might be better.

      Ah! Thank you, stable employment works much better.

      Blogging is great. 🙂
