"Error in parse - unexpected Symbol / {multcomp}"

Hi folks

I'm trying to do a post-hoc test with the glht() function from the multcomp package. I receive an unexptected symbol error and I don't understand why.

Please find the example of the dataframe which should reproduce the error. It's my first question here and please forgive me if I didn't get the reprex perfect.

Many thanks in advance!

df1 <- data.frame(credit_amount = c(1169,5951,20960,78820,4870,9055,2835,6948,3059,5234),
                 job = as.factor(c("skilled","skilled",
                                   "unskilled resident","skilled","skilled",
                                   "unskilled resident","skilled",
                                   "high qualif/self emp/mgmt",
                                   "unskilled resident",
                                   "high qualif/self emp/mgmt"))
                 )


lm.credit <- lm(credit_amount ~ job, data = df1)  
  
library(multcomp)
  
  
ph.test.1 <- glht(model = lm.credit,
                    linfct = mcp(job = c("unskilled resident - skilled = 0")))
  
  
summary(ph.test.1)
