disreputable work Explanation: Depending on the severity of the context, this could be translated as "disreputable work" (meaning that it is generally disdained as a morally repugnant type of work) or "unpopular job" (meaning that it is simply unpopular, such as the job of a garbage collector). A proper translation requires more context to make a sound decision. |
