anonymoose Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:18 AM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:18 AM Probably "place of employment". In other words, the person works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZhangJiang Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:25 AM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:25 AM Yes it means he has a job. In the past there were no private companies. People work in different "unites" of the state without worries of losing jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiana Posted November 4, 2014 at 09:19 AM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 09:19 AM Agreed with the replies above but there is also a slight possibility that it actually is "他是个有地位的人" (He's a person with (social) standing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
