We have a Govt Dept that controls everything, decides whether you will be paid Unemployment Benefits (under a number of different names), but does nothing about you actually getting a job. This would be an office=government. You then have to register with a private Job Agency that will supposedly help you find a job, but which don't actually do much :-(, but which would be mapped as an office=employment_agency. They don't pay you, but are themselves paid by the Govt for "helping" you. As per everything, you're never going to get a one-size fits all answer!
