Labour gets in a lot of money daily? That should prompt discussion
Solution: Work (labour) + in + g (a lot of money?) + paper (daily). Hence working paper.
Please explain why g implies a lot of money

G = grand, a grand, 1000. It referred to dollars originally, but I've heard '20 grand' meaning £20,000.

Thanks, Malone. Sometimes it's too cryptic but, admittedly, I've seen it before. I'll just have to try to remember, J

Thanks, JohnT. I must have seen the G, grand, lots of money, before because I thought nothing of it when I did the puzzle!
