Work is Force x Distance.
It is the same units as energy ... there is no one unit. You can say watts, or joules or ergs, or calories ... it all resolves the same.
You cannot as someone mentioned use horsepower, that is a measure of power, which is Work * Time
You also have to be careful about using newton-meters as that is also a measurement of torque and ambiguous.
