Reply #16: I'm angry that govt. now counts you as "employed" when in fact you are "underemployed". The White

House ignores the problem as long as it fails to report useful statistics.

"Is there a measure of underemployment?
Because of the difficulty of developing an objective set of criteria which could be readily used in a monthly household survey, no official government statistics are available on the total number of persons who might be viewed as underemployed. Even if many or most could be identified, it would still be difficult to quantify the loss to the economy of such underemployment."
