The structure is a phonetic spelling of "bureau," specifically the "Employment Bureau" or labor exchange, with the pronunciation reflecting Scottish speech. It is used in Scotland to refer to the unemployment office or the unemployment benefits received from it. People typically say "He's on the buroo" or "I need to sign on at the buroo." The term originated in early 20th century Scottish working class speech, shortening "Employment Bureau," and remains common, though it has become somewhat dated as the official names have changed.
