  1. in kleinen Familienunternehmen beschäftigt. employed in small family businesses.

Show the answer

Correct answer: bei einer Firma oder Behörde beschäftigt. employed by a company or a public authority.

Why?

Most people in work in Germany are employees: they work for a company or a public authority. The self-employed are a minority. An honorary office is unpaid, so it is not how people earn a living.

Key term: Behörde = public authority
