accommodation conditions
Nicht wohnberechtigt sind: Studenten, die überwiegend berufstätig sind.
This is among the conditions in a Mietvertrag stating who is entitled to student accommodation.
I assume this covers employment which is less than full time but excludes, for example, evening work as a barman. "Part-time employed" does not seem right to me.

Copy & Paste: Ergebnisse 1 - 10 von ungefähr 9.690.000 für predominantly in employment. (0,13 Sekunden). Do you use a different Google? I stand corrected - and today I have learnt something I didn´t know!

: Frosty: Cilian is right - you must have Googled without quotation marks, so got every single ref. to employment there is, while C. googled for "predominantly in employment" and got refs. to the whole phrase only (I still think it's an OK phrase).

what he means is that not part-time 1 or 2 hour employment, but his employment extends much more than the conventionally permissible limit which will entitle him to apply for the student accommodation
