waged
Actively pursued conflict
Waged describes work or workers receiving regular payment for labor: waged employment, waged workers.
The term appears most often in British English and in formal discussions of labor economics, where it contrasts with unwaged work like caregiving or volunteering.
To be waged is to earn wages rather than a salary or nothing at all.
