The term 'curro' is the most common informal way to say work. Finding a 'puesto fijo' (permanent position) is the ultimate goal due to the high number of temporary contracts. The word 'chamba' is used everywhere. It is said to come from the 'Chamber of Commerce' where workers used to go to find jobs. The word 'laburo' is essential. It comes from Italian immigrants. Argentines often talk about 'rebuscarse el laburo' (finding creative ways to make money). In Colombia, people often use 'camellar' (to work like a camel) as a verb for working hard. 'Encontrar un camello' can informally mean finding a job.
