Meaning of "throw some work your way"

I think probably the expression means to find job for someone, Is it a common expression or a word made inside the movie?

I talked to him. He said he can "throw some work my way".


it means give someone some work to do. it implies two things: firstly that the work is not permanent employment, but some short term work; secondly, that the work is for pay.

it is an extremely common expression.


It means to give somebody some work to do, for example to keep somebody busy (and thus billable).
