GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:empleos genuinos
English translation:real jobs

Bus/Financial - Economics
Spanish term or phrase: empleos genuinos
This is from a promotional pamphlet for Tucumán province, in Argentina:

Más de 130 empresas exportadoras posicionan 170 productos en 150 destinos de todo el mundo. El sector privado genera más de 300.000 empleos genuinos.

It seemed like a specific economics term, and the hits I found on the web for "genuine job" did not seem technical enough.

formal jobs


Explanation:
The term in Spanish is unique to the Argentine economic situation. See this commentary on the term itself:https://noticias.iruya.com/a/sociedad/comunicacion/25929-y-d...
And this analysis of employment in Argentina where the term is in quotes: http://www.thebubble.com/argentina-worst-moment/
I understand the use of this term as making a distinction between formal and informal employment.

Example sentence(s):
  • For many workers in low-income countries, obtaining a job in a factory in the formal sector is a significant improvement. For example, Dao Thi Sen works in a garment factory in Vietnam owned by a Korean company. “I was a freelance seamstress before."
