Victor is able to get work only for two hours a day. Rest of the day, he is looking for work. Is he unemployed? Why? What kind of jobs could persons like Victor are doing? |

Answer» Yes, Victor is an unemployed worker. He works for two hours a day but a major portion of the day he is looking for work and is unemployed. This implies that he is an underemployed worker. The situation of underemployment refers to a situation in which a person gets work for lesser time than the time he actually can and wants to work. According to the National Sample Survey Statistics, a person who is employed for less than 28 hours in a week is called underemployed. Victor could do jobs that are part time in nature like dropping newspapers, working in a restaurant, delivering couriers, bank tellers, etc. |
