      Not only has employment been the source of identity for people for thousands of years, it was reasonable and accepted for employment to be tied to identity. In some places, employment was tied to not just your identity, but to your extended family as well.

            Yeah many might be more technically correct. Surnames are usually either ancestral jobs, ancestral land ownership, or ancestral place of birth. I do feel like I see jobs more though. But i might be biased because that’s where mine falls under.
