"Yobbo or yob is a slang term for an uncouth or thuggish working-class person. The word derives from a back slang reading of the word "boy" (boy or boyo reversed becomes yob or – slightly modified – yobbo)."

A yob is a job that is tedious and/or pays a very low wage. Refers to the working conditions (and the way Mexicans would pronounce j-o-b in Spanish) of Mexican Americans.
