    Ghost jobs means something entirely different from these fake jobs listings that lawmakers want to ban. Why WSJ wanted to use the wrong term here confuses.

        Jobs that are under-the-table. Where the employer generally requires plausible deniability, and can burn you at any time. High risk, high reward. Often unlisted.

        From these kinds of jobs, the innuendo formed.
