Usage notes
- For a specific job, impiego is more formal than lavoro; in everyday speech, lavoro is usually more common.
- Use trovare/cercare un impiego for getting or seeking employment; avere un impiego sounds neutral and standard.
- In the sense of 'use,' impiego appears often in formal or technical contexts; everyday Italian more often uses uso or utilizzo.
