Remember: Low unemployment doesn’t mean low underemployment

Unemployment is a BS statistic which says little about underemployment. I've had plenty of jobs that paid less han my rent. I've had plenty of jobs that were below my skill level because my kinds of skills were not hiring me. If someone cites low unemployment as an argument that the economy is good for workers, remember how many of us are underemployed. “Technically working” doesn't imply sustainable work.
