Co-Worker versus Coworker

What is the Difference Between Coworker and Co-Worker?


When to Use Coworker

Coworker is a noun that means a colleague or a person whose job intersects with one’s own. Generally, coworkers engage in similar work and occupy similar roles within an organization.

Here are some examples,

  • My coworker Andy makes a delicious shrimp salad that is a hit at company parties.
  • Let me put you in touch with my coworker, Jill; she is the project manager on that contract.

    When to Use Co-worker

    Co-worker is the traditional spelling of the word.

    Summary

    Is it coworker or co-worker? Coworker and co-worker are alternative spellings of a word indicating a person with whom someone works; a colleague.

    Coworker and co-worker are roughly equal in their use worldwide.

    At this time, I advise defaulting to the hyphenated co-worker.
