Issue Description: It should be able to provide the specific sub-department/facility/business unit at which the job is based (see issue 1829 points 13-15). Also arises from analysis of Junior software developer example posting.

Discussion: mail list June 2019, thread on unit at which the job is based.

• Based on JDX, propose a new property of JobPosting for employmentUnit.
