# worker/jobs Number of jobs queued on a worker's mailboxes, or the sum over a pool. ## Syntax

[worker/jobs $w]

## Parameters - `$w` — worker or pool handle from `defworker` ## Examples

[worker/jobs $w]     # → 0 when idle

## Returns Integer count (queued plus reserved slots). An argument that is not a worker or pool returns `0` rather than an error. ## See Also `worker/send`, `worker/stop`, `defworker`
