Unemployment refers to the state of not having a job when actively seeking one. It’s when individuals who are capable and willing to work cannot find employment.
Underemployment, on the other hand, describes a situation where individuals are employed but not in positions that fully utilize their skills, experience, or available working hours

Can anyone with insight into the medical field explain the discrepancy between Nursing and Medical Technicians??
It seems very odd that they’d have such drastic differences given their workplace similarities

If you gonna come for the king, you better not miss.

Technically, teaching someone how to dougie on youtube could be considered miscellaneus education, so it seems I’ve found a loophole.

Medical technician surprises me.
We have a hard time hireing them at work. Must be a regional issue?

How far back does the data go? Feel like if this is cumulative all time, it’s telling a different story than maybe last 5 years?

That’s a great chart with very important information, but I think you are burying the lead by not stating that it is specifically for people between 22 and 27 years in the chart itself. Some careers just recquire more time to get into an advanced position.

Any idea what public policy and law is? Certainly not lawyers right? And it can’t be lawmakers because they get elected in so there’s only so many of those jobs.

I can remember like it was yesterday when they told us to all go into cs. Lesson learned. Pursue your dreams since you’re gonna be unemployed anyway.

Huh so one thing that is clear to me looking through this list is that obviously the policy makers have fucked supply and demand all the way up
Almost like adding a bunch of fucky wucky loopholes to everything just fucks everything up and if you just, yknow, got rid of all the absolute fucking bullshit our world would probably work like a normal sane society

Nurses have the lowest under employment yet hospitals throughout the country are critically understaffed lol
The psych hospital I work at is in a major metropolitan area and we have to constantly run units short, which creates unsafe environments that diminish the quality of direct care achievable for the patients. If nursing is truly that low on the spectrum, then it’s a miracle any of the other ones even function at all.

Am I the only one who is surprised communications degrees arent on the list of most underemployed degrees?

Thank you 18 year old me for deciding to major in Special Education because “what do you mean no one want to teach SpED? I can do that.”
Student loans were forgiven years ago and I could probably throw a dart at a map and find a job if I wanted it.
