40% of Workers Feel They're Underemployed. Here's What to Do If You're 1 of Them
If you've been following the news, you're probably aware that U.S. unemployment is at a refreshing low. Underemployment, however, is still a problem in the workforce, as evidenced by new data from outsourcing company Airtasker.
If you're not familiar with the term, underemployment refers to having a job that doesn't meet your financial needs or align with your level of education or training. In some cases, it can also mean you're not working enough hours or working too many hours based on the compensation you're offered in return.
In Airtasker's survey, employees who work between 40 and 50 hours a week say they should be earning an extra $12,000 a year, on average. For those who work more than 60 hours a week, that number climbs to a whopping $29,000.
