classifieds section

Newspaper job listings

The classifieds section is the part of a newspaper or website where short advertisements are grouped by category—jobs, apartments, cars for sale, personals.

Before the internet, scanning the classifieds was how people found work or sold used furniture.

The format lives on in sites like Craigslist, though the newspaper version has largely disappeared.
