| − | A [[dwarf]]'s '''labor''' preferences define the tasks/jobs that he or she is allowed to do, whether it is [[food hauling]], [[mining]], [[hunting]], or any of dozens of other tasks. For instance, only a dwarf with the [[wood cutting]] labor enabled will cut down [[tree]]s whenever trees are designated to be cut. | + | A [[Main:dwarf|dwarf]]'s '''labor''' preferences define the tasks/jobs that he or she is allowed to do, whether it is [[food hauling]], [[mining]], [[hunting]], or any of dozens of other tasks.

Note that a labor is ''not'' a "'''job'''", nor a "[[skill]]". A job is the actual task of doing something, and a skill is the experience that determines how fast a job gets done, and/or the quality of any finished product (specifics vary with skill/job), while a labor preference simply designates whether a dwarf is allowed do that sort of job or not. You can view a list of all current, queued, and suspended jobs on the {{k|j}}obs menu. A list of what job each dwarf is currently performing is visible on the {{k|u}}nits menu. | Note that a labor is ''not'' a "'''job'''", nor a "[[skill]]".
