classifieds

Newspaper job listings

Classifieds are brief advertisements grouped by category in newspapers or online—jobs, housing, items for sale, personals.

The name comes from this classification system.

Once a newspaper staple, classifieds have largely migrated to websites like Craigslist: I found my apartment through the classifieds.

Also called classified ads or want ads.
