The major premise is the first statement in the syllogism and the conclusion is the last statement. The major premise in this syllogism is "All meaningful employments are rewarding occupations." This statement links the two category terms "meaningful employments" and "rewarding occupations" through the middle term "occupations." The minor premise is "No meaningless employments are satisfying jobs." This statement links the minor term "meaningless employments" with the middle term "employments" through the negation of the major term "satisfying jobs." Therefore, the conclusion must be "No unrewarding occupations are satisfying jobs."
