Job

Day a concept linked to a certain period of time . The term can be used, for example, to refer to a day (a 24-hour period)

working day

A day can also be the duration of daily work. In this case, the day is not equivalent to 24 hours, but rather extends until the worker finishes his obligations: "My working day usually exceeds eight hours a day," "Today I had another exhausting day: I received complaints from about twenty clients." .

On Spanish soil, once a year the Congress of Deputies building, which during the rest of the year is barred from access to people who are not ministers or who do not work there, allows entry to the community in general. In this way, it is common for many to be encouraged to get to know this institution in depth to discover where its political leaders work.
